New DVD rom units in 1.6b's?

Just opened my Xbox and it has a LD Data Storage dvd rom unit in. Anyone seen these before?

Some of the newer units have an LG / Hitachi drive. Is that what you are referring to ? Or is it something else ?

Nope. It's LD Data Storage. Totally different logo from LG too.

I never heard of that. Try a variety of different media types and brands in it to see if it's a decent drive.

So far I've put in a fairly scratched cdrw and some really cheap media called Dataon Premium. Both worked flawlessly.

I just got a brand new xbox opened up and it came with a Samsung drive

it wasn't refurbished or anything. However I wasn't able to mod it successfully the first time but I'll just go back and check my solders.

I'm chipping another xbox this week or next. When I get it open I'll post a picture.
