Hello guys

Question is it easy to upgrade the hardware without doing some weird things in order to not lose any data?

Depending on the starting situation and the goal.

You need to change your problem so that lines up with my solution.

you have Seagate Barracuda ST3000DM001. The correct storage configuration with this model hard drive is as deep in a landfill as possible.

It's actually using very advanced quantum sorcery, but since Unix is Unix, everything gets dumped into the decidedly classical standard output, so that people can do Unix things to it like "pipe it through SSH" or "pipe it into a file" or "pipe it straight to zfs recv" or "pipe it into cat and immediately get arrested by the Unix police because why the !%#& would you use cat to view a text file, much less a zfs replication stream".

Save a config file first.
Then move the old system drive/sticks and data drives.
Does it boot and import pool - you're fine.

If it doesn't, the next attempt is to reinstall a fresh FreeNAS copy and upload your saved config.
