Unfortunately no, the newest firmware is from 2010, and the card was purchased last summer so I would assume that that is the initial release version.

 

After a round-about of restores and clones I have the server up and running from a single 1Tb WD Black drive... so far so good, we'll watch it and see.

 

On a side note, It never occurred to me that the restore process wouldn't allow you to restore to a smaller drive (from the 1.5TB array to a 1TB drive)

I just assumed because very little of the actual disk was used that it would resize it as most clone utilities would.. I was wrong

Yep. That subject has been covered a number of times in these forums.

1 to 1 for a restore unless you are going to a larger drive.
