Hi.

Heard a lot of things about the Thompson drives been not so good and the Samsung one being better. How do I find out which one I have? I just bought my box like 1 month ago.

Thanks. :wink:

well my thompson started crapping out on me a little over a year after i bought it...and it just finally broke down on me like a week ago..luckily the price drop and the SE xbox bundle came to rescue me.

You do realize you just cursed it. It will crap out within the next month, watch.

My new one has a Phillips, my old one had a craptastic Thompson.

Do they still make Thompsons? I asked MS but they gave a totaly irelevent response. Something like, "thank for contacting, it looks like we need to go deeper into this issue, please phone the custumer careline on....."

What's the best drive to have? In terms of quality, quietness, loading times, ect.

I dont think that the drive affects loading times

Oh, but it does.

My Thompson has been going strong since last February. Only a few DDEs, and none that were recent. Nothing wrong here .
