I honestly think sometimes why they couldn’t find a drive which didn’t make too much noise, that worked fine. There are so many to choose from!

I had the older one (Hitachi) though then got dreaded 3 red lights, had a new one sent to me and its the new drive (Samsung) and its horrible! It shudders when it opens and squeaks when it reads data, god! why did they put it in????

lowie, I got the same message when I had the 360 crammed in a tv stand and it got a bit heated. With luck it might be running just a bit too hot. Can’t check which drive I got now (at work), but the noise started bothering me yesterday so I thought I’d look some things up. It’s prolly a Hitachi.

my cousin has a samsung one in his and for some reason it will read a dvd and a cd but has stopped reading games. it just says ‘please insert disc into an xbox 360′ or ‘this disc is unreadable’
anyone have any ideas?
