    Per the OED, "Ruggedised: designed or improved to be hard-wearing".

    A really interesting thread on the pros and cons of hard drives and controllers, and we end up back in semantics!

    Does anyone else use the above configuration.

    I bought the cortex the other day to use as backup for my Denon. I presumed that I'd be able to store 2 database files on the HDD (denon database and cortex database), it appears it cant be done though . Once I added the cortex database the HDD is no longer recognised when switched back to the Denon.

    Looks like I'm going to have to purchase yet another external HDD specifically for the cortex.

    I knew I should've bought another Denon.
    Absolutely no need -- you would normally have 2 Hard drives?

    Dedicate one to the Denon and one to the Cortex.

    OK you have to change the whole system over but its very unlikely to happen
    and just have something handy to play in the meantime.

    Even with a Laptop as back up I had the same problem.

    I currently use a WD 160gig passport drive. You know what, I never even considered a 2nd HD as backup as I have the CD players there and I am currently sorting through my CD's and putting the most popular ones into just the one case (bit hard as I currently have 6 x 200 folders).. This thread has prompted me to go and get another one tomorrow as I want to cover every scenario and have back up. As someone else said, it's not the unit that will be faulty, it's more than likely going to be the HD itself.

    One question... When I get the other HD tomorrow, is it just a simple case of opening them both up on the laptop, selecting all folders and copying and pasting onto the new HD? Will this be ok?

    This has been an intresting thread for me to read as I'm still deciding either to buy a Cortex or American DJ SDJ1.

    From what I can see so far there is to many risks with using a HD as people are buying so many backups. For me I use a Denon and have one HD for my music. If the external HD fails then I will use the hard drive in the Denon as backup. But if this goes then I will use another backup what ever it may be.

    I must admit I'm a bit perplexed as to why anyone would want 2 different players (apart from the cost of buying 2 HD2500s) surely it makes sense to have identical back up to what you use as your main play out (especially if you do like I do & use both all the time anyway)
