2*4TB would give you twice the storage you've currently got with less noise 
and power use. 3*4TB in a RAID-Z1 will give you 3* the storage you've 
currently got.

How do you replace a zpool?  I've got a system with 4 small disks in a zpool 
that I plan to replace with 2 large disks.  I'd like to create a new zpool 
with the 2 large disks, do an online migration of all the data, and then 
remove the 4 old disks.

Also are there any issues with device renaming?  For example if I have sdc, 
sdd, sde, sdf used for a RAID-Z1 and I migrate the data to a RAID-1 on sdg and 
sdh, when I reboot the RAID-1 will be sdc and sdd, will that cause problems?
