Managed to resolve by creating a small partition, the space returned. Then reverted back the partitioning and have 3.32 TB Free - very weird issue!!

Hello,
My external LaCie 4TB hard drive is showing as a total size of 700GB in finder however if I go to disk utility, it shows as 4TB

Has anyone seen this sort of thing happen before?

Yes As you will see Disk Utility reports 3.99 TB used with 17.34 GB free

System Report shows capacity as 701.74 GB as does Finder
