Well it reads almost any cheap cd -/+r, dvd-/+r, dvd-/+rw, and the phillips does not read every single cd-r. Only the well known or quality brands.

If you only have a cd burner then it's worth it.

You do know someone figured out a way to flash the computer Samsung 16x model 616T or 616F with the firmware from the Xbox Samsung drive right?
You can buy a Samsung PC DVDROM, flash it, put it in your Xbox for like $39.95....
Why would anyone spend $100+ dollars on a Samsung Xbox DVDROM or give up a 120 GB HDD for one?

| I understand, but I don't sell them for 150 or for a brand new 120 gig drive, I meant a broken one. Although my offers have been pretty good and I'm selling each of them for 80 bucks. About the dvd samsung hacked drive , I think it's awesome but if you don't have the talents to do it or if you are going to pay around 40 bucks to buy it and 30 to install it, it's the same if you were to buy a Samsung drive from me. Well there are some other guys who totally blow out of proportion, trying to sell them for 180, that is surely a rip out. I'm open to offers,  |
$30 to install the flashed replacement drive? Since when? The parts (what, black paint, solder, and some wire, maybe?) cost maybe $5, a little patience, and a steady hand. Granted, the XBox Samsung drives have the advantage that you can just plug it in, hook it up, and it works, but I, for one, would rather sacrifice $40 (that's with shipping and all the 'parts' I need) and some of my time than $100. Charging $50-$60 for mere convienience only is a bit much.

I was able to find the Samsung on PriceWatch for 49.00 and can buy it locally for 49.00 with tax... That basically means you are paying about 30.00 to NOT have to do everything in the instructions above.... That sounds like a pretty decent deal to me, and keep in mind many people don't know how to solder, case in point: Matrix Modchip... |
$31 w/ shipping. Go to www.pricewatch.com and type "SD-616" into the searchbar. And the directions aren't too complicated, it's just long; hence, the patience.

If you can handle installing an XBox mod, you can do this DVDROM install.
