Ok so ive been reading and it seems that my xbox 360 has a hitchi 79 i believe. Not for sure but definately not benq.

I understand that it cannot be flashed without soldering which i dont want to do.

My question is, what is the best and easiest drive to install that will play backups? Or easiest one to flash? Where can i buy it?

added...

If i replace it, will it work with swap automatically like in a pc? Or do i have to do some type of drive install?

Actually they have now come out with a software hack for the Hitachi 79 Drives, so you don't have to do any soldering.

If you go to 360 Mods, they have on the front page of the site, what to do to flash the 79 Drives.

Also on that site, in the downloads section is a .pdf file that shows how to mod basically every drive. I think that's what scott909 is thinking of.

Here's a link to the download page:
