Pool transfer between systems

[NZ_JJ]

Hi everyone,

I have a friend in a different city, who uses FreeNAS 9.10 U2. We would like to be able to transfer large (4Tb +) amounts of data between us.
My internet connection is poor, only 200k up.
I'm building my own FreeNAS server and am wondering if I create a 3 or 4 disk Z1 pool then pull the drives and courier to him, will he be able to import the pool and access the data?

Thanks

Yes, of course.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a $VEHICLE full of $MEDIA.

As people above said: Yes. Just don't like to open my server, install hardware, remove hardware, ... Murphy's law, :D

That's why hot swap bays are handy. That, and when you're evacuating ahead of a hurricane... Oh, and I guess for replacing failed disks...

In this scenario you will be reading on my shirt: Try to catch-up and that will be the back of it ;)

At least you generally get some heads-up about hurricanes, so we were able to pack up important stuff and head your way for the weekend.

Yeap, but not aways. Today I lost one ups and one TV box and they were behind arc fault breakers. Come on down to Atl anytime.
