Newest lit-on DRiveS

[adultswiivi]

i havnt really been paying attention to the info about the new lit drives...

on my new xbox the drive im guessing is one of the newest ...
are they flashable yet? Not to long ago they were not.
cuz when the new LT cfw comes out ill open it up only if the newest drives can be done.
until then ill keep my XBL cancled.

You gots to check the manufacture date and post that....but that will not tell you the whole story either as I have only seen one 9000 series drive(not flashable) and 1/2 of the 8000 series made after June are flashable as well....

I actually need some help with the drive in my new Elite, I got a 200 quid bundle elite with 120 HD and Forza 3 and MW2, I ejected the drive and it looks like a Benq/Lite On, Then I checks the 2 wires in the hole and they are either white and grey or both white, Was made in China and Manufacturer date is - 8-17-2009, English date format 17th August 2009 which is brand new. But by the look of the drive and the wires Im not sure can someone plz help. I dont wanna open the 360 to find its not a benq as I dont have a proper opeing kit or a CK3 so would be waste of time, Im seriously thinking of getting a pre owned console just the core system and flashing that and leave this brand new elite untouched just I always be safe.

Any help would be appreciated.

going by mfr date i would hazard a guess its a lite-on.either 83 or new 90 series.but without opening console no real way of knowing for sure

Thanks sas, I know I presumed it probs a Lite On too its just the wire colours confusing me. Ive never heard of anyone having a Benq in a brand new elite before either. Think I just get a pre owned one m8 coz I dont wanna risk opening this, and the fact I just spent 200 quid I dont really wanna touch it like.

But thanks for helping me !

seeing that you are from somewhere else than the us, you may have a benq.
