Jaz Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 so with the new CDJ's 2 days away ive been looking for some USB sticksnow do i need a certain kind? or just any old thing off ebay like below V? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Super-Slim-16GB- ... 20b365b734 (Cheapest ive found ^)will they work with the 400's? or is there certain format types needed like fat32 etc...or do people have recommendations?What do you use?i want 16G for the extra headroom if needed and just for the sake of it....and yeh i need 2 of them Quote
DjDennis Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 be warned there are a lot out there that are not stable!8gb yes and under, but over are a hit and iss affair!oh and all flash drives are formated to fat32 factory settings Quote
Jaz Posted September 9, 2010 Author Posted September 9, 2010 cheers dennis, how come they are unstable? id hate to have 1 crash...oh ok, i thought fat32 was the standard as it seems to be the most common and its an older format right? Quote
DjDennis Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 well I have 2x 16gb ones herewhat happens is you put say 4GB on it and the directories screw upit comes out with jibberish words in that directorysayE:\music\kafsratejags8ehsj\now you try to delete that added directory and it will crash the systemso the most I will use on these small flash drives is 8GB or I buy (which I have) a Solid state hard drive 64GB SATAyou can buy usb to sata plugs as wellso its all up to you, but its what happens Quote

DjDennis Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 well you pay more all the timei'll get my moneys worth thenby going to a proper computer store..have a nice day! Quote
DJAdumbration Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 I know this was about USB sticks, but I used to use USB sticks however now I use 2 x 250 GB external 2.5" HDD's - 1 for each deck. You need to use a special tool to format that size with FAT32 (and loose some space along the way... stupid FAT).Cost around $100 from DSE. I've found it much better than swaping out USB sticks all the time. And, HDD's don't 'die' as often as USB sticks. No way would I do a gig with a USB stick without at least another 1 backup stick. I've just had these things die so often at random times it's not funny. I keep a backup of everything I put onto a USB stick somewhere else. Quote
