My first xbox was a "release day" model and had the thompson drive in it. It lasted for 2 years before it started going bad. I think a combination of chain smoking while playing and that my wife considers dusting the house a chore that's beneath her as factors in it going bad. My son bought an xbox a year later and he got the good samsung drive in his. When I bought the 2nd xbox to replace my bad one it ended up having a thompson drive in it too. Just remember that the drives are not interchangable so if you go out and buy a samsung drive it may not work in your xbox. Best solution is to just buy the same make of drive and put it in. I think it took me 10 minutes to take the xbox apart, replace the drive and put it all back together. You will need torx drivers to take it apart tho.
