A word of caution though, to benefit from the increased speeds of USB 3.0 you need to make sure you have a USB 3.0 port! |

| Lisette Fambro 22.11.2013 | I like to use big usb sticks in clubs, because its harder to lose or forget |
| Alphonso Deitchman 22.11.2013 | Yes, if you have a USB 3.0 port |
| Marcelina Hanaway 22.11.2013 | So does that mean my transfer rate will be blazing fast? |
| Alphonso Deitchman 22.11.2013 | My Sandisk drive has a peak write speed of around 175 MB/sec for larger files, and can slow down to 100 MB/sec for smaller ones. |
| Marcelina Hanaway 22.11.2013 | So my flash drives seem to take forever when transferring data onto them. Finally decided to look up the specs: Speed: 14 MB/sec. read and 4 MB/sec. write. How bad is that? And will getting a significantly faster pair really help me out that much? |

| Brunilda Kora 29.10.2013 | Ain't dat cute! |
| Allene Manitta 29.10.2013 | got one of these... lovely |
| Jetta Drenzek 28.10.2013 | Not putting a USB 3.0 drive on the nexus was some real lack of initiative from Pioneer. It would have put the cost of production up by a tiny fraction and it would have suited the long game definitely. Although it was probably done on purpose so they can release the nexus MkII in white with a USB 3 port. |
| Alphonso Deitchman 28.10.2013 | +1 for Sandisk Extreme sticks. They're much faster than almost any other USB 3.0 stick out there (100-180 MB/sec), and also perform really well through USB 2.0 ports (30MB/sec vs the 3-4MB/sec of cheap sticks). Devices with better read speed will load up tracks faster on the CDJ. |

| Vikki Falkenrath 24.10.2013 | I know writing speed affects the time you spend exporting tracks to the USB Stick. But what about the reading speed? Does it make a high-loaded USB Stick to react quicker when in a CDJ? In other words, can reading speed make a high-performance USB Stick with 100Gb of music work faster on a CDJ than a low-performance one with 10Gb? |
| Palma Hanslip 24.10.2013 | ^ What's peoples opinions on the Kingston Data Traveller. I want to grab a few but not sure. Need something with a good write speed and not bulky and they seem decent from reviews! |
| Matt Kane 24.10.2013 | i use these badboys. i always have them attached to my key ring. metal case is the shit! |
| Alphonso Deitchman 24.10.2013 | If you dig through the customer reviews, you can usually find read/write speed for sticks on both USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports. This one for example seems to have a decent write speed over USB2, as do most other fast USB3 sticks. http://www.amazon.com/Patriot-Supers.../dp/B008R6OPQE |

| Brunilda Kora 23.10.2013 | These are the only USB sticks I ever use. No chance of bumping into or breaking one of these bad boys: 81qNktsJcbL._SL1500_.jpg http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...=1&s=computers I've got bloodly loads of 'em... They're the only ones I'll buy now. I haven't used 'em on a CDJ, but I imagne CDJ users have had issues with bumping USB sticks that poke out too far. That won't happen with these. |
| Olin Easley 23.10.2013 | Any usb stick formatted in FAT32 which is big enough to hold your tunes really. I have one of these - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kingston-Dat...=kingston+16gb - and it works perfectly. |
