you can swap drive, you can use any drive in any xbox but you have to recover the code from the old drive and flash that code to the new drive so that it matches the drive that is suposed to be in your xbox.

it really isnt that hard, its done the same way you would flash a dive to play copied games

my current xbox came with a lite-on drive but i changed it out to a ben-q when the lite-on failed because the ben-q is repairable and the bios doesnt brick if you fail a flash
