will having a certain type of drive have something to do with the success rate of backups?? i.e. will some backups work better on a phillips or samsung drive than on a thompson drive (which I have), if so can some1 point me in the right direction for tut's on how to replace them? thx in advance.

i think they all work about the same, i had to replace mine and from what i read in the forums you have to stick with the same make as the one your replacing. so if it works for retail games something else is the problem

would media also be a factor in some games being choppy and a little on the slow or is something I have to live with???
