threads on hardware / software to use for a working backup are getting out of hand and need to be centralized, please use these instead of making new threads.
There are a couple already made, but its been a while and there are newer firmwares available and now seems to be a good time to begin a new thread.
Let me start each of these thread by saying YOU CANNOT GO WRONG PURCHASING VERBATIM DVD+R DL DISCS!
they are currently the best discs available for 360 backups, flat out.
you can get them fairly cheap, sometimes as low as $1.50 a disk in packs of 10-30.
any other media you use, may work for you at first, but dont be surprised to see a dirty disc error in the future.
store brands, off brands, etc.)
anyways, lets try and keep this thread clean, stating what works in the same format.
(I am putting this in both hitatchi and samsung threads as an example, please keep it as clean as you can with what works.)
