Currently I have a Raid 5 MDADM array of 3 16TB hard drives which is almost full, what would be the minimum amount of drives I would need to buy to get everything converted to ZFS?

Can I do something like a 2 drive raid 5, move one drive worth of stuff over, then add the now empty drive to the ZFS raid or make a raid 0 in ZFS, move stuff, add another drive and make it into a Raid 5?
