Hello;
I have a very large music library and it no longer fits in my 2tb SSD drive. I have read that the maximum disk size for EXFAT + MBR is 2tb.
I am using a P4+ and I want to have all my music collection inside my internal 4tb SSD drive.
This is not for performance purposes obviously but it’s for my personal setup.
I now pioneer devices support HFS+
Any Ideas?
Try the 4TB in ExFat and GPT/GUID format.
I don’t think Engine Desktop allows exporting with Sync Manager to HFS drives
Maybe drag and drop may work though with HFS.
Haven’t tried it yet, they added HFS compatibility to the 6000 to allow them to read rekordbox drives
This might work: Re: SSD Capacity MBR vs GPT format - #4 by tommyoz
@Jesus_Hernandez , I Found this using Google. 
Perhaps try partitioning the 4tb drive into two independently partitioned drive letters.
You can then switch from the old drive letter to the newest or vice versa
Official recommendation is max 1TB drive with ExFAT filesystem. If you feel adventorous, you could format the 4TB drive to EXT4 and see if your device reads it but for a whopping 4TB drive, the performance might be a bit iffy.
On my current 2tb drive (exfat - mbr) search performance is a disaster on the p4+ with 150k tracks. It takes ages to find what i’m searching for and on top of that the device keeps “updating” all the time rendering it unusable.
I’m gonna try exfat - gpt on my new 4tb drive and see if it’s any better
I bought the 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD from Costco website. Most of my massive library are MP4 videos when using Serato. When I don’t want to play videos, the mixstream pro+ plays them fine when I just want the audio. The drive was ExFAT formatted from my Mac and it works fine.
Update,
I formated my drive using GPT - exFAT the drive shows up in my P4+ also the playlists copied, however the music files did not copy, all the playlists and my library are empty.
They drive was formatted using disk utility (mac), then I selected my external SSD, then I clicked erase, then under format I selected MacOS extended journaled, then scheme: MBR
Then I exported from RB into my drive.
Did I do something wrong?
Hi - I have all my music on two 4TB Seagate drives one for each SC6000 and they work ok.
I hope you never run into this issue.
The 4TB model sold on Costco.com is SDSSDE50-4T00-AC. According to the Western Digital website, said model is not effected. If it was, supposedly there is a firmware update that can fix it.
Hi mate. “Official recommedation is max 1TB” ? No. This is not true! There is no drive capacity size limitation, just be sure the hard drive is formatted in one of the supported file system types; FAT32 or exFAT. Thats all. This applies equally to standalone systems and players.
See Frequently Asked Questions on denondj.com - support page.
Official recommendation by InMusic staff due to possible performance issues with larger drives (search, indexing etc).
So I re-formatted my 4TB drive using GUID and exFAT, I can confirm that its working OK as my internal SSD in my P4+ loaded with 144,476 tracks and analyzed using Engine DJ.
Search results are slow even after running the database optimization, the only way I found to make it more speedy is to remove search filters and only select the specific one I’m looking for.
Thanks for the help!!
I can’t agree with you because the only recommendation from Denon DJ (for all Prime units) is: max 50,000 songs on one storage device. In one database. That’s all. Does Not exist recommendation for max. memory drive capacity. That is irelevant. Other parameters the memory unit are more important, for the correct and reliable functioning with Denon Prime devices. Not a drive capacity.
The recommendation quote was from this forum by Jay_DenonDJ. Note that it is a * recommendation* and It has nothing to do with technical limitations, just that the performance of any file operation might become unpredictable (hangups, pauses etc.).
It’s a Rockchip RK3288 under the hood and if it’s built the same way as the MPC Live and the Force, storage is connected via USB hub, which limits the speed of I/O. So, you * can * install a 16TB drive in there, but don’t be surprised if the device hangs every now and then when the app is waiting for the file system to come back with data.
