A powered USB hub would be the ideal connection method.

CDJ/DJM HID mode, XP1 and external harddrive on 2 USB ports
Curious what would be the best method to hookup 2 CDJ/DJM in HID mode, XP1 and a external harddrive together with only 2 USB ports. Ive heard the best way is the DJM on its own USB connection and put the CDJs, XP1 and harddrive on a powered USB hub. Thoughts?

Thanks, Pulse. To prevent audio fallout, do you also recommend hooking the DJM directly into one USB port and the the rest on a powered hub (2 CDJs, XP1 and harddrive)?

That's been the most recommended configuration, however I prefer having my hard drive connected directly, and everything else through a hub. It's entirely up to you - test it out and see what works best!

Thanks again, Pulse. I wish I could test it out. I'm in Hawaii and I don't know of anyone that has a CDJ/DJM setup on island. I'm flying to a different island to play at a club and the only time I'll have to test any type of configuration is when I fly in and go to Guitar Center, lol. Which is why I'd like to know the best possible option beforehand. Also, any powered hubs you recommend? I was looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-7-Port-Adapter-Charging-iPhone/dp/B014ZQ07NE/

Ended up running the CDJ/DJM and XP1 on that powered USB hub linked above and the harddrive on its own dedicated port with no issues.

@James > That's actually the exact same hub I have - absolutely love Anker products.
