Are 2 CDJs and 1 DJM worth it?

[Klaxsis]

I already own a 16gb sony USB drive for DJing what would you recommend me for another under $30? (16 or 32gb)

If you don't mind waiting for your tracks to load or copy then by all means go for the cheaper offerings.

This is the key. how much longer would the wait be given the fastest and slowest write speeds you've mentioned?

Maybe one of these for gigs?

Upgrading to 32gb is usually only $10-15 for most drives

This is the key. how much longer would the wait be given the fastest and slowest write speeds you've mentioned?

Copying times can be easily calculated from the specs; a typical generic drive will transfer at maybe 15MB/sec, whereas a decent USB 3.0 stick should write at over 100MB/sec. So you're looking at nearly 7 times the wait for a slow stick.

It's harder to predict loading times, but my Class 10 SD loads tracks much faster than the Class 6.

As far as i know no cdj supports usb3? Doesn't it throttle down usb3 devices to usb2 speeds?
Am i missing something?

I paid my 2 CDJ 400 and a DJM 600 for 500$ CAN. I call that a steal. Yours is just a very decent deal.

Hell I wouldnt even pay the 699 price tag of a 350 brand new, let alone 300 for a used one... But hey, to each their own.

OMG. Please stop posting links to USB drives makar1. Everything you're posting is overpriced and a waste of money.

Paying 1 dollar per GB is already a rip off. You should never pay that much since they go on sale so often, but if you really need to, then it's fine.

I got this Patriot Rage XT 32GB USB 3.0 for 22 dollars:

Ive seen it go for less.

This ADATA is excellent for 26 bucks:

That Patriot isn't 22 dollars anymore, I suggested one that was within the budget mentioned.
And I ruled out that ADATA after reading some of its reviews.

If $1/GB is a rip off, why did you link a stick that costs $1.20/GB?

Please stop being so technical. I realize your UK prices are more expensive than the US, but in the US, paying more than $1/GB is just a rip off.

I posted my Patriot as an example of what you can get. If you're really in a rush, then you can pick up the ADATA for less than $1/GB.

64 GB for 29 dollars after rebate - http://slickdeals.net/f/5980550-ADAT...ad-Speed-29-AR

There's pretty much at least one USB flash drive deal on slickdeals every week.

Well you complained about me posting an overpriced drive, then proceeded to link a drive that costs almost the same as the one you were complaining about.

I would only recommend a drive with lots of reviews, and the ADATA S107 has hardly any.

[SlvrDragon50]

But you DID post an overpriced drive

Your drive: CORSAIR Flash Survivor 32GB
80 MB read/40 MB write
44 dollars

My 'overpriced' drive: Patrior Supersonic Rage XT 32 GB
180 MB read/50 MB
38 dollars

I might not be as strong as you guys in the DJ world, but tech is something I'm confident in. ADATA, Patriot, Sandisk, Samsung, CORSAIR are all really good companies. Worst case, you get a bad drive. Newegg is fantastic with returns.
