Did I set up RAID 1 correctly - why does it show full size?

Hi there folks, I followed the Disk Management instructions from this site: https://www.guidingtech.com/4-best-ways-to-configure-raid-1-on-windows-11/ to configure my RAID1 array of 2 x 20 TB Enterprise HDDs (internal) on my new Desktop Tower PC, Windows 11.

However, when I go to 'This PC' and click on the new volume D drive, it's showing a total of about 40TBs. Because it's mirrored drives, shouldn't I only see 20 TB of available space because of the redundancy?

I'm a little confused how this works and if I set it up correctly.

Please advise, thanks!
