If you add another 4 TB drive in slot three, you will end up with an 8 TB data volume. Underneath, xraid2 will convert the RAID-1 volume to a RAID-5 volume automatically.
You will still have protection from a single disk failure but slot 2 will no longer be a mirror of slot 1. RAID-5 is more complicated than RAID-1.
