I like BenQ's personally. Quiet, high quality, and parts are pretty easy to come by.

Samsungs are ok, but ive seen so many worn out sammy's...
Hitachi's are a pain... They suck to flash, and the drives are loud I find.

Well this is where I bought 2 of mine from:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... 1%26ps%3D5" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Can also buy it here: http://www.modchip.ca/store/home.php?cat=284" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

but it will be more expensive with shipping.

EBAY!!! It may take a while to get it but the price difference is completely worth it. Most online retailers charge 50 - 70 dollars for a drive. When I ordered four at a time from ebay for just over 100 bucks.

I prefer ebay, its much cheaper, and I cant justify paying an extra like 40 dollars to have the drive in 18-48 hours. Rather just wait a 7-10 days.

Went with ebay, bought 3, to experiment sort of speak. New to all this drive flashing/spoofing stuff.

Thanks for your help guys.

Is it better to do everything in dos with iPrep or just use JungleFlasher or combination of both?

You should try to stick to one program if you can help it. I mainly use JF, but prefer iprep for lite-ons.

Yes, as technoe said, its best to stick to one.

You should try them and see which you like better, then try to stick to that one.

I use JF now because when I started flashing I used it due to the fact it can handle Hitachi's... My first drive was a hitachi so I used JF, and have continued to use it since.

Cool. Thanks guys, Im gonna stick with JF seems like the do all tool of choice for windows.

On another note. Can you believe i'm trying to RMA the CK3 pro kit i got crom consolesource.com and the send me a link to team xecuter's forum, saying to check the forum out to see if there is some workaround as to why the unit is not ejecting the lite-on drive I have. Im gonna test it with a friend Benq drive to see if it ejects the tray or not and get back to them.
