I'm confused...

I have 2x 3TB WD Red drives installed into a QNAP TS-253A. During initial setup, I stuck to the defaults presented - including Raid1, 20% "snapshot" space, and did not perform "bad sector" check.

Upon completion, I am only seeing 1TB of space available - I was expecting in the neighborhood of 3TB. Even 2.5 - but a paltry 1TB?

df -h reports the following, on Ext4 filesystem:

Code:
[~] # df -h

tmpfs                     1.0M         0      1.0M   0% /mnt/rf/nd

Am I doing something wrong? Am I being impatient? (the activity lights on the unit for the HDDs are going nuts, though the system health check reports "totally fine").
