Your best bet would be to install the new ssd drives, create a new pool, snapshot the exisitng pool and use ZFS send/recv to migrate the data to the new pool. There are docs around about how install grub and the boot blocks on the new devices also. After that remove (export!, don't destroy yet!)
the old drives, and reboot to see how it works.

If you have no problems, (and I don't think there's anything technical that would keep this from working,) then you're good. Otherwise put the old pool back in. :)
