You probably just didn't select all 4 disks to create something like a raid10 when instaling PVE?
 
I just use the default configuration and it seems to use all of my HDDs

I have no experience with how OVH installs PVE, but to me it looks like it is creating some kind of software raid 4-disk-mirror.

To give us a better overview of how OVH installs PVE, you could give us the outputs of these commands:
lvs
vgs
zpool status
mdadm --examine --brief --scan
cat /etc/pve/storage.cfg
lsblk
pvesm status
