Hi all.
My XDJ RX is a grat machine.
BUT!
Sometimes i get error 8306. So i reformatt my usb drive Sandisk Ultra Fit 64GB from FAT32 to HFS and seems to be ok.
Last gig in the middle of the set i get another error message E8036 and XDJ slows down and freezes!!!
WTF???
I must restart whole console.OH MY GOD!!!
A few minutes later a get another WAIT message.
Whats going on?
My XDJ has latest firmware 2.21

Dear PioneerDJ, make a new firmware and eleimninate the E8036!
Thank you

The Fit just isn't a performance drive. It's designed to be small, not good. Please try using a different USB drive.
Hi
Really isnt? The Sandisk Ultra Fit is one of the best usb drives fot DJs by the djtechtools.com:

1) That article is from 2015.
2) The article also talks about using USB2 drives.
3) The Fit is listed as a "Great Value" drive.
4) The Fit was $32 for 64GB in 2015.
5) That article also suggests that the Corsair Survivor is a good choice (it's not; I've had more problems with that drive in CDJs and XDJs than any other).
I look at more than just the capacity or size for a drive. I don't care what it looks like or how clunky it is so long as it's fast -- and not just overall write speed for large files, it's important that small files transfer quickly as well. A perfect example of a drive that seems fast when dealing with large files but then absolutely sucks when dealing with small files is the Kingston HyperX USB3.0 drive. It can handle large files like a champ, but start sending it small files like rekordbox does when writing the waveform data, and it chokes worse than many USB2 drives.
Watch a video I made about USB drives here for more insight and my recommendations.
