Problems adding 4th drive (NV+ V2)

I'm having problems adding a 4th drive.

In the NAS already is a 2GB Samsung drive and 2x WD Red 2TB drives using X-Raid 2 this has been working perfectly, however I bought and added a 4th WD Red 2TB drive, but the total still reads 3.6TB. the Drive info is as follows:

Disk 1 WDC WD20EFRX-68AX9N0 1863 GB (29 °C / 84 °F, Write-cache On). Status: OK
Disk 2 SAMSUNG HD204UI 1863 GB (30 °C / 86 °F, Write-cache On). Status: OK
Disk 3 WDC WD20EFRX-68AX9N0 1863 GB (30 °C / 86 °F, Write-cache On). Status: OK
Disk 4 WDC WD20EFRX-68EUZN0 1863 GB (27 °C / 80 °F, Write-cache On). Status: OK

I've tried restarting the NAS but it's not spanning across to the 4th volume. I also tried updating the firmware to 5.3.8 (from 5.3.7) and then restarting it but it still isn't doing anything. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

    I find some problem in your disk (0-4096, input/out error) , so the disk don't create partitions after install,
    Please contact support, maybe we need to remote access your NAS to fix the disk.
