Awwww, this takes me back to the crosswire trick and GaryOpa's old firmware (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Hey. That is me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sorry, guys and girls, I been over loaded with work over at "psx-scene" were I been hanging my hat the last few years.

I might just have to go out and buy one of this new Hitachi babies now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/love.gif)

Any luck with tracking down the MFR date or serial numbers to look for, as I don't want to get stuck with a crappy Liteon drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Personally, I love playing with Hitachi and their love of Panasonic Micro-controllers, it much easier to follow and work with, clean 32bit Risc assembly code, none of that crappy 8bit bank-switched leftover 8051 crap that no one should be coding anything in anymore.

Happy days are here, time to get out the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pop.gif)

Thats just sad hitachis were a pain and from the 1st brick 1 would either stop doing them or just buy a via6421 card like the rest of us did.. My Mod PC has onboard VIA 8237 or somthin so i had no probs accetp for certain H-LG47Dj would not appear at all. VIA6421 pci card has done every drive since best 15-20$ i spent. Maybe you should do the same.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

thats exactly what i did after a few bricks.. The only hitachi i got working on my nforce4 was the 79s. the rest would not write correctly.

I'm in the process building a new core 2 quad, with an nforce 780i chipset. planning on running windows 7 64bit. Hopefully everything will still be koo.

on the other note: sooner or later, this new hitachi drive will get hacked just like every other drive in the past.

I never bricked a Hitachi. Good thing I never had to bust out a wilhelm. But they are a hair tricky if not done right. Procedurally they were the most difficult. Especially later on with the unlock Cd's and putting a movie in the drive. lol. what fun days.

Hi.
I have a doubt
There is a difference between the two tray's drivers?
This would be useful to know which of the two models we have without opening the Xbox.
Sorry for my English

I have ~26 units of Slims (14 x 4GB and 12 x 250GB Solo units, not kinect bundles). If anyone needs info about drives (no hitachis, checked about 20 units), manufacture dates and other info, you can PM.

Aldanga · « **Reply #69 on:** December 17, 2010, 04:17:00 PM »

If anyone has a slim, please post your console information to 360Drives.com. Doing so would be helpful for easily figuring out when certain drives were introduced into the slims.

interesting....
i've bricked like 3 or 4 hitachi's This is before jungleflasher days tho; plus i've never had the best of luck on my nforce4 chipset. I hate hitachi's..

nforce has always been dodgy when it comes to 360 stuff (mainly in the early days). A VIA card or onboard ICH9+ is really the way to go (you can use lower ICH chipsets, but might have some minor issues on a couple drives).

I don't know why so many people seem to be against Hitachi drives in general - I've always had great experiences with them - loads better than samsung. I've also yet to run into ANY Hitachi that didn't run AP2.5 games on ix1.51 fw (including 2 79's I tested here recently). I've loved them ever since birdy-flasher (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

all I have used is nforce4 on hitachi, never had a brick, the only problems I have ever had were trying to get hit79 key when the drive wouldnt spin. but I have gotten past all of my problems as I sure we all have, never bricked any drive, but have recovered many bricks, and seen infinite amount of bull $hit done by owners

Going by both serials posted..

Xbox Slim 4GB Kinect Bundle:

Serials ending Between: 04105 - 04505 could have new H-L Drive...

Take this info as an assumption...Till more MFR Dates start coming out...
