What has been done with these modded samsungs? Maybe it wont fit in my xbox?

If it has been modded for the Xbox it probably will already fit the case, though to be safe ask the seller.

Oh ok. My reader also seems to be making more and more noise than it once did. Do you think this will be corrected too?

Probably not.

Head thrashing (movement back and forth) is PERFECTLY NORMAL.

What is NOT is when it STOPS doing this because it's reseeking the same bad block over and over.

well my xbox has always been making this faint humming sound, it seems as if that sound has gotten louder

Ok the modded samsung apparently required alot of soldering and if it is one thing i cant do... its soldering... So i decided to buy a regular xbox drive but i want to know which one to buy, a Philips or a Samsung. Plz help me

Depends...

There are many other threads where people have posted results reading other media with both.

I remember hearing about the Samsung maybe being able to read CD-Rs too...
Any difference in the chance of the same thing that happend to my Thomson would happend to either one of them?

There is always a chance that hardware will die...

The sammys seem to be rock solid.  The New philips seems to read everything too...

Every thompson drive I have come across reads dvd-r but no cd-r.

Yup same here.

[Mineralvatten]

But Samsungs dont read DVD+R right? so doesnt that make the Philips better?

[Mineralvatten]

This store is selling Philips drives from 1.4 Xboxes, are those good?

[opjose]

Sure go for the Phillips.

[Mineralvatten]

Well i have heard that different versions of philips are different good, but this from the 1.4 Xbox, can it read everything?

[opjose]

Quit agonizing!

No you will never have any guarantees. Such is life.

I know you think im too whiny but i really dont make alot of money. Now i dont like ppl who try to treat me any other than regular but it takes me about four months to save up enough money (and thats saving as much as i can) to buy a new drive... So i really want to make sure that it will work!
