most of the newer boxes i've seen have philips drives in them. most of the older ones had samsung, and those in between usually have thompson. for the past couple years it seems to have been a mix between thompson and philips. I think thompson's got the worst reputation, but i have seen a few that were fine and most likely still fine. on the other hand, i've had thompson drives go out within a year. as far as what it will read, yes the samsung has been far superior in my experience.
