    The max size for these units for the box to handle the install is most likely 1TB.

    The newer FVP-4000/5000T boxes can use 2TB AV drives, as can the G2-Freesat+ boxes.
    The older HDR-Fox-T2 boxes can go larger thanks to the custom firmware available for these boxes.

    Nonsense. The limit is 2TB just the same as the earlier HDR-FOX T2. I know this for certain because I fitted a 2TB drive to our HDR-2000T last year. I suggest the OP tries again and if that fails, tells us what make and model of drive he is trying to use.

    I know they will take 2TB because my other iedntical machine was a TB hard drive. It said I had to format disc which I did reluctantly but still came up with unknown error.

    Why were you reluctant to format it? What make and model of drive is it?
