The NVX will handle 4 TB drives.
It will not expand volumes more than 16 TiB. And there is a growth limit of 8 TiB over the life of the volume. So to answer your question we need to know the disk configuration you used at your original install (or last factory reset).
If you can't expand you current volume, you'll need to do a factory reset with the new drives in place. Given the 16 TiB limit, you might consider switching to flexraid, as it would give you more expansion options later on (as the 5 and 6 TB drives come onto the market).
