The Samsung drive will be the easiest method for making your back ups. They have the SH-D162C (IDE) and SH-D163A (SATA) depending what type of slots your PC has. The above is correct as far as what you need. Verbatim 2X to 6X DVD+R DL is my choice for media Xbox Backup Creator V2.4 is what i would use IMGburn V2.1 to burn to a disc but you have to manually set the layer break the first time by doing this: tools-->settings-->write-->layer break. Check user specified and set it to 1913760. Click ok and burn as normal. This is only necessary the first time burning a 360 game as far as playing regular xbox games (originals), it can. As long as you have the latest updates for your 360 (which if you have xbox live you will) and the game must be on the backwards compatibility list as well. Now if you plan on playing back ups of Xbox 1 games that is a bit different. They have to be made a specific way so that they play on the 360, and once you do that the back up will ONLY play on your 360 and not your Xbox. How you mak them depends on which DVD drive your 360 has. A samsung that is flashed can play a regular DVD5 (4.7GB) disc. But the Hitachi can not so all Xbox games would have to be copied on DVD9 (dual layer) discs.
