Samsung isn't necessarily the best.

Samsung SDG-605B (found in older Xboxes) is the best, but the SDG-605F (found in newer ones, including the crystal), has a lot to be desired in terms of media compatibility.

From what I've seen, I'd probably rank the drives as follows

Samsung SDG-605B = Phillips VAD6035/21 > Hitachi/LG GDR-8050L > Samsung SDG-605F = Phillips VAD6011/21 > any Thomson

Basically if you have to buy a new (v1.6) Xbox...you'd want to get the Phillips drive, otherwise the Samsung.

Well guys, i had an old 1.0 Xbox with a Philipps drive that read everything, even books...then the box died on me...

Now i bought a 1.6 crystal box on ebay with an 250GB HDD and a Samsung drive...well, it does NOT read ANY CD-R or CD-RW (which my old Philipps read with ease), sometime it stutters reading DVD+R and the only media it reads perfectly are DVD-R...so i'm not too impressed by this Samsung-is-the-best thing...

Don't resurrect a two year old topic to post your question in.

Yes, take a look at KenCuz's signature. I think its too big but may be helpful for your question. He has a couple of post on this thread.

CaliSurfer008 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 27, 2003, 11:23:00 AM »

Thank you to Kencuz for making it his sig (although it is too big

Thank you to both of you as this will stop a lot of questioning (hopefully

)
