what does your frontview > volumes say? x-raid 2?
if so, then you are essentially using raid-5, one disk space worth is used for parity.
see @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raid_5#RAID_5
The only way to switch to 'raid-1' is to factory default (you must back up all data, everything will be deleted), switch to 'flex-raid' mode using RAIDAR, then delete any default volume and configure the 4 disks however you wish.
