Let's face it, the Xbox 360 DVD drive is way too loud to enjoy - shocking news for me when I got mine, featuring the Hitachi drive.

I heard many rumours about the "much quieter" BenQ drive, so a couple of days after receiving my first one, I ordered another Xbox 360, which had the BenQ drive installed. Here's a test of both brand new consoles side-by-side - judge for yourself.

I believe the Hitachi drive vibrates more, causing some extra noise in the Xbox chassis; the BenQ drive runs smoother, not causing the chassis to vibrate and create extra noise - but really only by a fraction. Both are UK Elite models, bought in March 2008, tested with PGR3.

Enjoy!

  • fucking both of theam are loud

  • I'd rather have the Benq, no 360 is quiet, my Xbox slim is loud as the Hitachi 360 when playing Black Ops but not as loud when playing MW2.

    Man the PS3 blu ray is soo quiet, I don't know why people think Xbox is better, I can hear my Xbox over the TV sound and I don't want to install EVERY game I play!

see all
