Thanks for your answer but those are USB Flash Drives...not HDDs.Quote:

Hey it's not a DJM it's a CDJ 850 :D. I have 2x 32GB usb drives and i don't want to use them. I need minimun 500GB of storage for my unit.Quote:

And believe me, I searched for 2 weeks. I even went to a Pioneer Service Club. Together we made all the possible tests to conclude that. (tests with others HDDs and others 850s and other CDJ's models and and and and... :)) )
So, I need a SPECIFIC model that works! It's anyone there that can help me with this information ?
I posted my question everywhere on the internet (youtube videos, pioneer forum) and I can't believe that I can't find anyone who has used an external hard drive with this CDJ.
Ha! My mistake. Had a brain lapse there.Quote:

I know this isn't the answer you are looking for but why not get a 1TB or 500gb Flash drive?

What if i want to play a track that i remember and it's not on my flash drive ? Or maybe the party will continue and i'll play with my friends b2b at the after party and i don't have that kind of music on the USB. i hate when this happen.
Thanks again for help (and sorry for my english, i'm not native :D)
Your english is great, no apology necessary. I lived in Korea for about 3 years and I was never able to pick it up. You should see me try any other language. It is embarrassing...Quote:

500gb of music on a cdj850 is absolutely bonkers
How do you even go through all that on an 850? Honestly bruv, it sounds like a great idea, but youre gonna have read issues constantly. You can use hp formatter to break the fat32 max limit to use a 500gb external drive with your 850. Your best to keep your music organized with rekordbox and use thumb drives, though.
Organize your thumb drives by genre, comments, etcetera.
