Pre-9500 controllers have a hardware limit of 2TB per RAID volume. Likely
that's your issue.

And, before you decide to break it into 2 RAID volumes, be aware the highly
optimized and blazing fast performance is *only* on the first volume.
Additional volumes are very slow. Its something 3ware doesn't advertise but
will usually admit to if confronted.
