BenQ and LiteOn drives look the same as they have the same cut out in the disc tray, but you can tell the difference between the 2 by removing the faceplate and looking at the colour of some wires.

This image shows you how to do it: -

The other option, of course, is to open the case and have a look. If you're going to flash it, you'll need to do that anyway.

u need proper tools to flash my friend!
you will need jungleflash,
connectivity kit or use your xboxs power which i dont recommend,

PCI SATA Card w/ VIA VT6421A Chipset For Xbox 360
etc,

but in all if your gonna do some more xboxs in the future i just use Maximus lizard

If it's a BenQ, it's one of the easiest to flash. I used to flash mine with no special tools. I just hooked it up to a SATA port on my motherboard, although that won't work with all mobos.

For LiteOns (and flashing in general), I would also recommend the Lizard. It costs about as much as paying twice for someone to flash your console, so in the long term it's worth it. In the 6 months or so since I bought mine, LT+ 1.9, LT+ 2.0 and LT+ 3.0 were all released, so I've flashed my console 3 times with the Lizard.
