CDJ 2000 Nexus 2 - USB 3.0?

Hi,

Are the new CDJ 2000 Nxs2's using USB 3.0 now?

I know before it was only 2.0 but wondered if they will now read usb 3.0 sticks?

Thanks

All CDJs are USB2 host ports, but all USB3 devices are backwards-compatible and can be read in USB2 hosts.

There is no benefit to the CDJ having USB3 speeds as the maximum (theoretical) bandwidth of USB2 is 40MB/s, and even if you played the highest quality songs possible on four linked players all from that one USB drive, it wouldn't get close to 40MB/s.

Where USB3 is desirable for a USB device is when exporting from rekordbox; faster drives = faster write speeds = less waiting.

ah, maybe you're right, but it's good because it's more fast to export tracks on usb device from rekordbox.

Please if you can help me i have a seriously problem on my decks nxs2, emergency loops appear always when i use usb key with link, but when i use HDD with link, it appears less..
