That's normal... The advertized size is 4TB but the actual size is only 3.6TB.. so, you can't use more than the real size. Check how the difference is explained.
HDD's - the Advertized size vs the Actual size.

Hard drive manufacturers use bytes to sell their drives. In reality, GB is the measurement. To have 4GB, you need 4,294,967,296 bytes.
The drive has 4,000,000,000 bytes or 3.72529GB.
1024 bytes = 1kb
1024 kb = 1mb
1024 mb = 1gb
1024 X 1024 X 1024 = GB
So 4,000,000,000/1024/1024/1024 = 3.72529GB
