I have an R4 with 2TB drives in it. Am I able to put 4TB drives in to give myself more space?

Yes you can install larger drives.
Please use drive models as shown on our compatiblity list.

We know those models will work. Other drive models are unknown factors.
it is best to make a new array with the new drives to get the full space otherwise if you replace one drive at a time, the space will be truncated to the same size as your current 2 TB drives.
So if you have data backup. (everyone should backup critical data), you can just make a new array and then copy the data to the new disk setup.
If you don't have a backup, It is best to back up all your data to another location, then make a new array and then restore your data.
