I have 4 x 3 (2.73)TiB drives in one pool and the pool has used 4.17 TiB but the remaining 957.04 GiB left. I guess it is if I am using Raid Z2. If someone can confirm that woud be great.

Thanks in advance

You would have approximately two disks worth of usable space; 2 * 2.73 ~= 5.46TiB.

4.17TiB + .957TiB = 5.13TiB

RAIDZ is not an exact science, as it merely guarantees a redundancy level, and small blocks will consume more space for parity than you might otherwise expect. It does not appear to be shockingly outside a plausible range.
