You will need to describe the physical hardware and current RAID system in much more detail.

For example do are you using mirroring or raid5 (other)?

Are the mirrors always in separate full disks ?
Are the mirror disks always in a separate array ?
Are you using hardware raid ?

What is your desired ZFS pool layout ? Mirroring, RAIDZ (RAID5), RAIDZ2 (RAID6) ?

It is not possible to convert NTFS to ZFS "in place" which is why it is necessary to know where you are starting from and where you want to get to.
