So I had the itch to play a bit of my original Xbox but was saddened to find the old Thomson drive completely shot. I decided to go ahead and bite on another console with a Samsung drive, but now I'm wondering if the Samsung ones are good as is, or would I be better off modding it and running games directly off the hard drive for the sake of longevity?
I've only ever had Thomson drives unfortunately, and anyone who is in this situation too should make HDD loading a priority. Games run so much more reliably and load so much more quicker. Every disc drive is going to fail eventually, so might as well softmod while you still can.
