Setting up External drives.....How?

So i have an external 4tb G-drive named X_1 that I have iTunes db on and Rb uses as my primary (works fine). I have a secondary drive i just got it's a transcend 2tb external named X_2 it has my iTunes library replicated on it. I would like to use my X_2 to be mobile cause i travel frequently. The X_1 primary works just fine, I have followed the instructions on "Moving Your Rekordbox Database to External directly" to get the X_2 to act as a primary and be mobile with it, however it doesn't work. Could you please explain in detail how can I add my X_2 to act seamlessly as a primary db with iTunes on it?
Also I've found out that if I rename X_2 to X_1 it works then it says it need the master drive? I'm getting confused.
Also what good dependable flash drives could you recommend, i currently have been using PNY 256GB and lately iam getting an e-8307 error on xdj-rx and nexus cdj-2000? Any ideas and resolutions.
i have a macbook pro running mac os x 10.10.5 / rb 4.0.1

Sorry for late response. Our engineers respond:
Please let me sure just in case, have you move your database by clicking [Move Database] in [Preference] > [Advanced] > [Database] > [Database management]? From what you wrote, it might be possible that the path information in database is wrong.

And what you/we should do next is depend on what you want.
- If you simply move (not copy) the database to the external drive, we can support by sending us files and then we modify and return them back.
- If you switch library by changing external HDD, there is a way to do it: https://forums.pioneerdj.com/hc/communities/public/questions/203587223-Multiple-external-libraries-possible-
- If you duplicate your library and synchronize the libraries, unfortunately there is no certain way.

Please let us know what you want to do by moving library.
