I have 6 x 4TB WD Reds that i want to repurpose for a differant project. Whats the best way to wipe ZFS from them and use them in a windows enviorment? All data on them is backed up so im not worried about loosing it, i want to use them for a differant windows server and a faster DAS solution.
I'll still have my FreeNAS server as well.

Just let windows format them. If you are paranoid, and these 6 disks are the only disks in a pool, then when you "detach" the pool, you can choose to destroy the data on them.
