These are Seagates

Model: ST3400633A
Firmware Rev: 3.AAH

This is what I get with a 3 disk raid 5 setup:

File System : Formatting /dev/rraid0
File System : /dev/rraid0: 1554358272 sectors in 1517928 cylinders of 16 tracks, 64 sectors
File System : 758964MB in 94871 cyl groups (16 c/g, 8MB/g, 768 i/g)

Yes, on 4000's you can Stripe, Mirror and Raid 5. I have not tried a stripe yet, mostly due to the fact that I am more interested in Raid 5. Although, maybe I should try...would be interesting to see if it failed there too because of the "preposterous" size LOL. I have looked at the Seatools that came on the disk with the drives -anyone have any insight into how to make the changes described above? Do I have to put the drives in a pc and run the tool on them?
