So this is a continueation of my following issue: link
I haven't found any issues with the Hard Drives after another round of Long SMART tests. The drives are still in a degraded state and I have no clue why. I am now stuck with either buying similar replacement Hard Drives, or invest into a pool with ZFS2, especially with this experience, Larger Drives and ones with CMR . I have decided if I go this route I will buy: WD Red Plus 8TB
First I am posting this in this Section hoping more eyes will see my current issue in hopes there is some solution to my current issue.
Second, here is my plan to move over the data (below), I am asking If there are any better ways to move the data than my current plan?

- On my Motherboard I have 6 extra Sata Ports where I can connect three 8TB drives.
- Create a temporary pool (TempPool) ,
- move the data temporarily to that pool (TempPool) ,
- kill my current pool (Degraded Pool),
- Replace current drives with New Drives
- create New Pool (NewPoolZFS2) with New Drives (WD 8TB x 6/CMR)
- Transfer the data to that pool (NewPoolZFS)
