Mine is made in Feb 2007, it has the hitachi drive. It doesn’t matter because I’ve read the toshiba samsung drives that scratch discs. Sound isnt an issue for me.

I got the benqdrive
Shame i cant use any backups on it.
I was hoping for one of the older drives.
Sound is not an issue i crank it up anyway.
I would trade mine foer a Hitachi anyway.

Are the Benq drives noticeably quieter, or am I wasting my time?

Just bought a core to replace a dead system. I was manufactured in 2/07. It has the Hitachi drive. I’m taking it back….

you should keep the hitachi drive (old drive) you can flash firmware these and the samsung (2nd gen) only to play backup games (burnt dvd’s). Only the newer drives does not do this making the older drives more desirable~

I concur, sent my 360 in as it died, mfg on new one they shipped out Dec 08/06 and it also has a Toshiba-Samsung drive and its louder than a freakin 747 taking off… Was really hoping for a BENQ drive in there.

Ya my roommates has the Toshiba-Samsung drive and he bought it a month or so ago. Real bummer, but I live in NYC and it’s barely audible.

BE WARNED! I returned my amazon xbox, manufactured in September 2006, for a ebgames xbox, manufactured in December 2006, as I thought surely it would contain the new BenQ drive. IT DID NOT! A TOSHIBA-SAMSUNG DRIVE MOCKED MY CROSS-TOWN QUEST! Wait a while for the stock to turn over…

Sweet! The repair center sent me a new unit made 12-26-2006. It is much quieter than the one that broke. I can’t be sure since the first one I had only lasted 4 days!
