dont get a different drive, the dash update that flashed your drive with different firmware required your console to have its original drive, so i suggest you get the same drive you have now just incase we have another update like this

as long as you stick with a liteon your good. Can just switch the boards as well.

Thanks for all the info guys really appreciated.

just a reply to louis suggestion.Just keep your old drive and attach for dash updates then just put your other drive back after update if you want to be super safe about it

why are you actually replacing your drive?

[warship]

The drive is starting to sound like a airplane taking off and not reading the disks properly ,can't complain a new drive should sort it out, thanks everyone again for the help.

ahh right, as gazzer said, you can get another drive, doesnt have to be the same, but keep your current one, when theres a dashboard update use that drive to update
