anditz Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 So I want to get external back up for all my music, here is the situation:- I have around 100gb worth of music but would also use for storing movies (150gb worth)- I have cdj400's- I can get 1TB 2.5" for $91- I can get 2x500gb 2.5" for $124What should I do my fellow people?

Mitch Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I'd get the separate drives and put movies on one, and music on the other.That's what I do. Keeps things separate. Quote

Cupe Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 I'd get the 2, and put everything on both and just use one to back up to all the time Quote
anditz Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 Yes but I was also thinking along the lines of backing up all my music on both drives and plugging them into the 400s Quote
Mitch Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Do you really want to have to browse through 100gb of music on a cdj 400 screen though? That's why i use 16gb flash drives in the decks and just put what your actually going to mix on there, easier and quicker to find songs, but you can still put heaps on there Quote
anditz Posted October 11, 2011 Author Posted October 11, 2011 hmmm i guess, but i'm the kind of dj that won't look for a particular song, i'll just come across one that i like and put it on lol. i find i get a lot more variety into my sets that way. Quote
Jaz Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 dunno, 1TB is easier, less clutter, and cheaper...so probly that for me Quote
Mitch Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 Yer anditz I Do that a bit too, but I don't really want my whole collection plugged into my decks. So much alternative rock and other genres that am never going to mix, so only put edm that I might mix onto the usbs. Quote
Cupe Posted October 11, 2011 Posted October 11, 2011 i have 2 1tb'slolzid have 4 if 2 didnt die Quote
SolDios Posted October 13, 2011 Posted October 13, 2011 Id recommend not putting your music on the hard drives, as if they are moved (sometimes souly by vibrations) it can screw up the disk alignment.id get 2 32gb usb's (these ones can be set to auto backup a folder when connected)http://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers/stor ... sku-66263/ Quote
Mitch Posted October 14, 2011 Posted October 14, 2011 He has a 100gb. 64gb isnt enough. I have around 8 external drives that I carry round At different times and never had that happen Quote
