I would've expected a second HDD to have been part of the backup strategy
Eliminate another point of failure and all that...

You're both right. I do have a back up HDD, but I (wrongly) presumed I could use any of the hard drives with any of the HDD controllers, rather than having to have an independent HDD for each unit. Does that make sense? :O
In my thinking, if anything happened to the denon it would just be a case of taking the HDD usb from the denon and sticking it in the cortex. Maybe I just need to go back to bed....it's been a looong day.

I see what you mean, but being a DJ of very little brain, and also one who likes to have discrete playout systems, if the Denon went down, wouldn't you simply use the Cortex part, especially if the reason for the Denon malfunction was a corrupted HD? All the more reason for separating them totally I'd say. ( Then again, what do I know? )
Edit: Vectis, I'm sure your system works admirably. Sadly I don't have a clue what you're on about! Is there a Dummies Guide available?

Being able to interchange the HDD's would've be preferable, and would mean only taking 2 hard drives to each gig (main and backup), as they would both work with any HDD controller. It looks like I'll need a minimum of 4 HDD's if I want full back up for each of my controllers.

Stop being so bloody tight - how much is a 500Gb HDD - £60?
