Hello, I have a Mac and use a controller and a external harddrive so I want to know wich is the best way to in the middle of the night swap the harddrive (since Mac has only 2 USB ports) and I have 2 hard drives, but if I try to eject the drive the OS tells me that its not possible since VDJ is using it, (even if I'm playing a song thats stored on the Mac Drive). So what can you recommend? Or do you recommend using a USB hub for the hard drives?
Kind Regards

I'm not sure what your set up is, however here is mine and it works perfectly:
Odyssey Glide Case:

Denon DN-MC6000MK2
Macbook Pro 13"
In the back of my Odyssey case, I mounted a power strip, and a small powered USB hub (4 ports) (using Velcro, I love Velcro!). The hub stays mounted in the case, as all of the connections. When I get to an event or a club, I simply connect my USB drives to the hub and then the hub to the Mac and BAM!
Done. :-)
There's zero latency or issues with using a decent hub. (Don't buy a $5.00 one from Monoprice... Mine is not great, but it works great... It's a Belkin or a Kensington or something.)
