I was wondering, if there was an alternative DVD Drive, that could be used in the 360?
i was thinking, if you got your original firmware from the your, drive then flash say the SH-D162C with it. Use a IDE-SATA converter etc, would it work in the 360?
If alternative drive could be used, then u could run both drives on the 360, one with the hacked firmware, and keep the original drive with the original firmware, and have some sort of switch..
Probably a dumb question, but thought I would make this my first post Smiley

Only microsoft approved xbox dvd drives will work in the console.  You can buy a replacement and put you key into its firmware, but you can only have one connected at a time.

a "full xbox 1 style modchip" isn't gonna make other drives work either.
