x-raid nv+ 4 2TB HDD but only show as 2738 GB

I have 4 2 TB HDD's in X-Raid but it only shows as 2738 GB, shouldn't this be closer to 6TB of usable space? Running RAIDiator 4.1.16

    Did you reboot the NAS after it resynced?  If not, then try doing that now - it should trigger the expansion.

Yes, it should be showing 5.45 TiB (6 TB).

 

Is the system showing all four disks in the array? 

Did you ever have smaller disks installed?

    Yes it shows all disks in the array and I used to have smaller disks.

      1 TB by any chance?

       

      How long ago was it that you upgraded the disks?
