I haven't opened the xbox yet, since i'm pretty sure its a Hitachi cause of the speed that it opens is just like the phat hitachis. I've always noticed the Liteon's eject faster then Hitachi's. Whatever, Still kinda sucks though since they never even looked into Flashing Hitachi's.:(

Look through the side if you see the sticker about half way between front and back then it is a liteon 0225 if it is closer to front or back it is hatachi...At least in my findings this is 100%...Findings may vary not responsible for changes by M$...Cog

post your last four numbers of the serial number.it can be found on your box.

the only 100% way of knowin for sure is to open it up.

i think you'll have a liteon in it. could be a 0401 or a 0225 i go for one of them lol.

but could be a hitachi.

I think you have seen hitachi's open slower than liteon's because hitachi drives are in the really old phat boxes. The older it is the more gunk is in the drive which is why it slows down. Opening speed on a brand new hitachi and a brand new liteon are most likely the same I would believe.

I'am 99.9% sure its an Hitachi, since the drive's tray matches the hitachi one in the picture above. Whatever, any news on dumping/flashing slim Hitachi's?

Ya, opened up it's an Hitachi, very odd mfd's though the console was made in July 2011, but the drive was made back in April 2011, so this drive must've been sitting around the factory for awhile lol. Also the sticker thats on the drive was placed on the bottom then the top like Hitachi's usually are. Very Odd.
