Reccomended external hard drive

We have great success with Seagate Free Agent drives and G-Drives.  A lot of DJs are moving to external SSD and for those look at the Samsung EVO series.

A Samsung SSD and a strong, bus-powered external enclosure. They're fast and, most importantly, reliable.

Go for a drive that has plenty of extra storage. For example, if you have 230 GB of music, don't get the 240/250GB drive, spring for the 512 GB.

Thank you however I note the Samsung drives are quite expensive will any other make suffice?

having bought the external drive do I need to anything with it, or can I just transfer the MP3 files via rekordbox then straight onto the hard drive or does it need formatted in some way first? I actually bought a col tech hard drive but when I plug it in rekordbox does see it and I cant export the music files.

sorry rekordbox  doesn't see the hard drive

It must be formatted like a USB drive, so FAT32.

Guys I am having a terrible time with this. I had to get a chap at work to format the hard drive to fat 32 as I did not know how to do this , can any one send clear instructions please, I put all my tracks onto the hard drive they were all there , however when I plug in the hard drive to the CDJ it only finds 7 tracks!
So having formatted it again the hard drive appears to formatted back to an NFTS format and I am completely stuck back at the start with a hard drive in NFTS format and I don't know how to change it to Fat32, please help

A simple google search will yield many links on exactly how to format a drive on your particular operating system.
