Hi

I have two newish 360's...dont ask..didnt mean to!!

One has a benq drive and one has an LG I think ( judging by pics)....how do i tell if its an 0079?

How do I tell exactly which drives they have , and if so, which one should I send off to get modded/or attempt myself( was thinking of it)

Well Hitachi 79's require solderin and removal of epoxy.

You can only tell if its a 79 by opening the case up and reading the ROM version.

So, personally - Id send the BenQ off as of the reasons mentioned below:

Should it require going back to MS - the drive is obviously tampered with for a 79

Hitachi's will never be 100% stealth, maybe safe enough to not get banned but if thats all MS can work on, they will.

BenQ drives are MTK based - Going on past experience with Samsung/Hitachi we know MTK based chipsets appear easier to 'attack'
