Since I understand that this card does not really provide the RAID
itself (and also does not seem as table as preferred on FreeBSD) I am
wondering/considering obtaining a RAID card that does and possibly
disabling the SiI 314 on the motherboard.
Definitely a good idea to go with hardware RAID.
Although, for RAID1, you could probably get away with using gmirror on
those drives connected to the SiI controller.
However, the question is can that be done without having to reinstall?
(I seem to recall that I can not just move SCSI drives from one
interface to an interface of an other brand).
Yes you can. Just swap the drivers, then boot off an install CD and
select the Fixit option. That way, you can check the dmesg output to see
if/how the drives are named. Then you just mount the / partition and
edit the /etc/fstab file with the new names.
