I looked and couldent find it, but isint there a way to tell what drive is in the 360 without opening the box? I need to purchase a second 360 and would like to make sure I get another one with a samsung drive. Or atleast a modible drive. I know the only for sure way is to eject the drive and look myself lol but isint there lot# or something that MIGHT help? Might be a stupid question but I been looking for allmost a hour and found nothing.

Fair enough thanks for the info. Does anyone know if the benq drive is now coming in the regular white 360? or is it only in the elite?

The BenQ drives are coming in the new white 360s with HDMI. It is a better, quieter drive, but can't play backups of games (yet).

umm are you sure about this???? theres many sites that list the lot numbers, and several other numbers from the various UPC codes that will help you determine if its a hitachi drive, or a samsung, or benq drive, and possibly what version it is, ms25, 28, ect.
