Philips - Vertabrin, Sony, Ritek, Memorex, Fugi Film - DVDR - Memorex CD-RW, Fugi Film DVDRW - 8x all - Simple x for extracting or creating .iso - About 15 games with each - Samsung - Same DVD Disc's - Same CDRW and DVDRW - Same Speed - Same Programs - Same Games - All Work's Thomson - Same DVD Disc's Vertabrin Doesnt always work! - CD-RW May take a few boot's and DVDRW Rarely! - Same Speed - Same Programs - Same Games - Sometimes an iffy drive for me... Slower speeds better capability! I've ruined a many xbox myself that's why I have the 3 drives I've actually swaped out drives here and there to test games working capabilities. and found that for me Thompson is the less reliable drive of them all. I think it's more the drive than the data DVD's. With one last comment my friend gave me some Green Value Disc DVD+R's and I'd like to comment that they suck dont use them, lol. All the dvd's I use are DVD+R or +RW because my burner is a DVD+RW drive. I've never had a problem using someone else's -RW or -R disc and I dont belive this has made a diffrence either. I have over 75 backups and all of them are +R or +RW. So for the record I dont belive -or+ is better just what your drive will read...
