Hitachi 46/47/59: Pretty much everything works.
Hitachi 0078FK: Pretty much everything works except SIL chipsets which DO NOT.
BenQ: VIA or NForce SATA chipsets work best.


These Samsung PC drives can be flashed with the 'Kreon' firmware so they can be used to rip 360 games to your PC.

Why talk about stealth games, that is outdated. DVD-R and DVD+R both work, no one cares. I never check games, waste of time. If my 360 won't play it, it isn't right. So I don't encourage other people to waste their time either. Don't doubt me.

DAMN!! $60 to flash my xbox ? lmao wow (i live in uk so its more for shipping) that sucks lol, why did i have to have the lite-on drive

My question:

If my 360 is flashed with 1.6, it protects you again unstealthed games right? So, I won't get banned for an unstealthed game - it just won't boot it...right?
