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 :)

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

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 :)
