So I've just installed my Nas drive and selected single drive and it says I have 3.6TB available of 4, I'm using a WD Red NAS drive in this enclosure which is a terramaster f2-220, I'm aware it will not be 4 but isn't that a bit low? This is my first time configuring it and not sure what I need to change and also if this is correct or something I can change to get more storage available, cheers.

Hard Drives take their storage numbers from regular base-10... so a 1TB rating is 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. In your case 4TB would be 4,000,000,000,000 bytes. which translates to 3.637 TB in binary, which everything else in the computer world uses outside of storage devices.

There is no issue with how much storage is available.
