If im not wrong we dont have a mirrored setup here, but concatenation of 2 raidz. Using two controllers is always better than using one. You can try mixing disks that create one raidz on two controllers so it woul be something like:
raidz1
c0t4d0
c1t1d0
c0t6d0
c1t3d0
raidz1
c1t0d0
c0t5d0
c1t2d0
c0t7d0
That will give you same level of redundancy as before but might increase performance.

MFI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual MFI(4)
NAME
mfi -- LSI MegaRAID SAS driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device pci
device mfi
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
mfi_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
This driver is for LSI's next generation PCI Express SAS RAID controllers. Access to RAID arrays (logical disks) from this driver is pro-
vided via /dev/mfid? device nodes. A simple management interface is also provided on a per-controller basis via the /dev/mfi? device node.
The mfi name is derived from the phrase "MegaRAID Firmware Interface", which is substantially different than the old "MegaRAID" interface and
thus requires a new driver. Older SCSI and SATA MegaRAID cards are supported by amr(4) and will not work with this driver.
Two sysctls are provided to tune the mfi driver's behavior when a request is made to remove a mounted volume. By default the driver will
disallow any requests to remove a mounted volume. If the sysctl dev.mfi.%d.delete_busy_volumes is set to 1, then the driver will allow
mounted volumes to be removed.
A tunable is provided to adjust the mfi driver's behaviour when attaching to a card. By default the driver will attach to all known cards
with high probe priority. If the tunable hw.mfi.mrsas_enable is set to 1, then the driver will reduce its probe priority to allow mrsas to
attach to the card instead of mfi.
HARDWARE
The mfi driver supports the following hardware:
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 8408E
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 8480E
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240
o LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260
o Dell PERC5
o Dell PERC6
o IBM ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA
o IBM ServeRAID M1115 SAS/SATA
o IBM ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA
o IBM ServeRAID M5110 SAS/SATA
o IBM ServeRAID-MR10i
o Intel RAID Controller SRCSAS18E
o Intel RAID Controller SROMBSAS18E
FILES
/dev/mfid? array/logical disk interface
/dev/mfi? management interface
DIAGNOSTICS
mfid%d: Unable to delete busy device An attempt was made to remove a mounted volume.
SEE ALSO
amr(4), pci(4), mfiutil(8)
HISTORY
The mfi driver first appeared in FreeBSD 6.1.
AUTHORS
The mfi driver and this manual page were written by Scott Long <scottl@FreeBSD.org>.
BUGS
The driver does not support big-endian architectures at this time.
