The one I wrote the review on will work but you gotta be a little good at soldering those wires. You have to switch out the main circuit boards that are inside the DVD drives to make the xbox think it's using the original drive. If you don't, it will not work at all. It wasn't easy but it was cheaper than a $150 xbox.

That appears to be a drive for a Xbox 360 slim correct? It's a complete pain to change out drives on the slims. You have to drill into the current one, extract the dvd key and then do the same with the new drive. But to answer your question, the drive you commented on will not work. You will need to find the drive that matches the exact model number.

If you do have a slim xbox then don't get this drive. I'm not sure if it fits.

http://youtu.be/yAQviMOjaIoThis is the video i used and it was rather humorous at the same time. Hope this helps. The only other thing i can tell you is that when you get everything apart there 5 or 6 wires to switch out the boards and they are colored coordinated and all labeled for you so its quite simple. If the drive on amazon matches yours it will work. Mine did and i have a new less noisy xbox now.

I did not use a youtube video for the actual soldering of the wires as that part is kind of easy. I used youtube to take the xbox apart all the way to the dvd drive and that is all. Switching out the circuit boards is actually easier than taking the system apart. I can link the video i used tho as it does have some useful info in it.

The drive runs at SATA I speed (150 Gbit/s) which is normal for modern optical drives. Connection-wise, SATA is backwards and forwards compatible. You can plug it into any generation of SATA and expect the same functionality.

ive been burning with amazon's basic dvd+r stuff for a while and after a few hundred disks, very few fails.i think my drive is burning up now, is the only problem, but its old and has about 1k burns through it.

For hard drives, mine arrived with Toshiba DT drives at 7200rpm. They work exceptionally well and are slightly faster in my tests than other drives at the same rating.

I need to swap the print circuit board, since PC cannot detect this drive any more. I have tons of data on this drive that needs retrieval. So I placed another order again. Hope I will get exact model as I bought in Nov, 2010. The model I received last time is also WD20EARS-00MVWB0. Can someone report what's their model number now, if they bought it recently? Thank you. I will report mine once I get it on Monday.

Like a champ! I've 2 Lite-On drives, 1 with LiteScribe, both working under Win 8.1

OEM drives in my case, possibly European models not for sale in the US. Not covered by manufacturer's warranty - at least, not on the four drives I purchased and received today (and am sending back tomorrow). Strange that Amazon doesn't require sellers to publish warranty info. It's as if they encourage sales of gray market goods.

Works for me. Are you using light scribe disks and turning them upside down when putting into the drive? Did you download the light scribe part of the software? I don't remember if that was automatic or had to be selected. If nothing works, contact Lite-On support.

No. Reading more on the internet before I purchased this drive, I have found that LightScribe is discontinued.

Here is a link to the Asus specifications for this drive. http://www.asus.com/Optical_Drives/DRW24B3ST/specifications/

I would recommend using one on Thecus's compatibility list: http://www.thecus.com/download/compatibility/hdd/N4520SERIES_N2800_N4800_N4800Eco_N5550_N4510U_N7510_HDD_SSD_list.pdfAlso consider that Enterprise rated drives will last longer and potentially perform a bit faster, but might not be worth the price bump for just backups.

I ordered the diskless and installed 2ea, 3TB Western Digital Green drives which were on the approved drive list. Worked flawlessly. I would hope that any drives pre installed would follow their own drive list.

I just found a 1 TB SATA drive at tiger direct for $69 and a rebate for $10 (making it $59) and it works perfectly. Whatever you get, make sure it's a SATA drive. These systems do not use IDE drives, and they are never easy to return if you buy the wrong one.

I did a little research and I believe you want this product http://www.amazon.com/SATA-caddy-12-7mm-Universal-DVD-ROM/dp/B0056EW4A4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1373680430&sr=1-1&keywords=12.7+caddy you need a Serial ATA caddy, not IDE. Also the thickness of the caddy should be 12.7mm instead of 9.5mm. You might want to measure the thickness of the drive yourself, or dig a little deeper than 1 google search to find out. Good Luck!

You can install a lightscribe in any desktop. You just have to make sure that the interface is the same. In this case it's a SATA. You can also get an external lightscribe. I installed an LG blueray burner in mine, not so much for playback but rather for optical storage. So now I have the original DVD drive plus the Blueray. Incidentally the cable is already in the tower. You just have to plug it in to the optical drive after you install it.

The specs say it has an "8X DVD-Super Multi Double-Layer Drive." I haven't used the drive yet and it's likely I won't. Maybe a super multi double layer drive can do it all - read/write both cd's and dvd's? I'm not that much of a Techie.
