Hello guys,
My friend has xbox 360 a phillips dvd-drive. I wonder if he could replace it with a HITACHI LG VER. 47DJ without causing anything wrong to the xbox. And then use labtop SATA-to-USB adapter plus Xecuter Connectivity Kit including with proper intrucstions to flash the firmware??? Is that possible. plz help thank you.

And is this the correct SATA-to-USB adapter i need from ebay:

not sure on the correct cable, as i havent had to deal with a benq yet, But i do know that in order to use a different drive in the xbox 360, you will need to take the firmare key from the old drive, and spoof the new drive to look like the old one. you can find tutorials for doing this right here on the forums. just look for a tutorial on spoofing your drive. You can find these in most flashing tutorials.

To be honest, the Benq (Philips) drive is better than the Hitachi. And if he wants to swap drives to play backups, then there's no need as the Benq can be flashed quite easily.
