Hello there,
I have been searching all over the internet and talked to my local guys in Denmark but no one could help me.
I am the happy owner of three Corsair Stealth Survivor USB 3.0 64GB keys.
i recently bought number two and three, and the first one are the oldest.
My problem is, that i can export my files and maps to the keys, but the all the new CDJ's and the RX model won't load the USB's completely.
Basically they just keep loading while they're in the CDJ's or RX's USB plug.
I have been trying everything! Really. I have erased them at least ten times and the format has been set to both FAT32 and Journaled. The "PLAN" has been set to Master Boot Record as Pioneer Products prefers.
But then i thought about that my new MacBook Pro 15" 2015 model might be the problem? I tried with a whole other USB (Kingston 2.0 USB 16GB) And it seems to be working fine, it's just acting slow lige all other 2.0 keys.
My first bought Corsair Survivor Key works just perfect, but im quite scared that if i use it with rekordbox on my newest Macbook, it will crash just like the other survivor keys.
Do any of you guys been noticing problems like mine?
Im really just like going to play CD's again, "b'cause i ain't got time for this ... ha!"
Yup, the Corsair Survivor series (incl. Stealth models) have a behaviour issue when used with CDJs and XDJs, there's no guarantee it will work properly, even if formatted according to our suggestions.
Unfortunately it's likely due to the memory control chip used in those drives, and there's not much we can do about it other than to recommend you use another make/model.

Spare no expense when it comes to external drives and/or USB sticks. I live and die by Samsung SSD's and SanDisk USB flash drives.
Okay, what about Kingston Data Traveler DTSE9 G2, 3.0 usb, 64GB's?
At the moment im having the exact same problem with those keys as with the corsair survivor keys..
I haven't tested the DTSE9 G2, but I see its write-speed is a measly 15MB/s... not exactly high-speed, even USB2 could obtain faster speeds.
yes, now i see that.. Im not that good at watching specs before im buying.
Dear Pulse, do you have any experience with these Hyper X USB 3.1 Speed 128GB's keys? http://www.hyperxgaming.com/us/usb/hxs3
Those didn't work for me neither.. :(
Your best bet is to invest in a reliable, name brand drive. I've used Samsung external ssd's and the high-end SanDisk flash drives for years and have yet to have a poor experience. Note: always make sure to get high-end performance flash drives that are made for heavy processing and frequent read/writes. I can't stress this enough as the majority of users experiencing flash drive issues stem from the fact that they purchased the lowest quality model of a drive to save a couple bucks, not realizing the severe impact it has on performance.
