hi, drobo usually uses up an amount of space, for your data protection, equal to the size of the largest drive.
so in your case, 4tb is the largest, and then you have 2+2+2=6tb

(i usually times that by 0.9 to get an approxximate usable space, which will be about 5.4tb across all drobo volumes depending on how many volumes you initially created.)
