Thanks to all who helped get my New TrueNAS SCALE server up and running. Now on to Step 2: Updating my old FreeNAS server.
Plan is to upgrade my "Personal Server" (See Signature) from FreeNAS -11.3-U5 to TrueNAS Scale (current version).
The current Personal Server has Plex installed along with a number of users and SMB shares, the new version will only have 1 user, no Plex, and some new SMB Shares.
I wish to save 1 Pool (about 4.5TB of data). All other drives will be reconfigured into new pools.
I did think about going the upgrade route, but I figure a clean install would be better.

Upgrade Plan:
- Disconnect the 1 Pool for saving
- Install TrueNAS Scale
- Configure with 1 user (me!)
- Define new pools using drives from "destroyed" pools
- Reattach the 1 saved Pool
- Is this a good plan?
- If not, what would be a better route?
- If so, How best to go about steps 1 and 5? (point me in the direction of the documentation!)
