Xbox 360 E DVD Dive make and Model

I read your response closer Argontheos and I Do know that the 2 Xbox 360 E’s make the Grr sound the same as the one in the video. This is because I owned both of them, I returned the first to the store and got a replacement and it was exactly the same. I
presumed the dvd Drive that makes that GRRR sound is the Hitachi from research I have made. I then presumed they were all the same and put up with it. I would be interested to know if anyone else has experienced this from a Hitachi (if that is what it is)
or it was just a bad batch.

But as stated before the thing I am trying to confirm is which dvd drive is in the xbox 360 E 500GB. As said in my previous reply if I buy the xbox 360 E 500GB and the DVD drive makes the same noise I will return it, I am just trying to eliminate that chance.

What is the issue?

HD failure is also an option.......

Repairs are availible too

I have asked Microsoft support and they cannot tell me as they don’t have access to that much detail.

I have seen 2 xbox 360 E 250GB with Hitachi-LG DL10N out of a sealed Box - Manufacture dates

2013-07-24 and 2013-07-23, I have also seen an xbox 360 E 250GB with a Phillips liteOn 16D4S manufacture date 2013-05-10 all PAL for Australia and New Zealand.

Please see the link for the Hitachi-LG DL10N in an Xbox 360 E comparing to a Phillips liteOn 16D4S in a Slim. Please note the Unusual Noise with the Hitachi.

Thanks Argontheos for your insight and advice. If I Buy the Xbox 360 500GB E and the DVD drive makes the Grrr sound I will be returning it and getting it replaced.

Just install the game to the hard drive, then it won't matter what DVD drive your console has, the game will run from the hard drive. No noise, no reading problems, faster loading. You'll still need the disc in the drive, but is only for anti-Piracy purposes.
Once you install a game on an Xbox 360, any 360, the game will entirely from the hard drive.
