Datastore size is smaller than virtual disk

$

Just deployed a fresh installation of ESXI 4.1 rev3 on a new Dell PE R520 server with 4 1gb disks configured in a single RAID5 array.  When I log in with vSphere and go to Configuration>Storage it shows the data store being just 740gb.  However when I go to Storage Adapters and select the vmhba it shows the full 2.73tb of the RAID array that I need to use.  Nowhere did I choose 740gb for the size of the datastore so I'm not sure how it was brought to this size.  If I try deleting and recreating it 740gb is the maximum I can create.

 

What am I doing wrong and how can I create a datastore that is using all 2.73tb?  Screen captures are attached.

 

thanks in advance,

Ben
