Ok so last week my 2nd 360 went dead with the 3 red lights. Now before I hear it, yes I keep the 360 well ventilated and yes I take good care of it. Anyway I exchanged it at gamestop since I had the product replacement plan and after starting it up, the fan noise was much louder then my first two 360's. When a game is in there, the noise increases even more. Is something wrong with it or does microsoft just use different fans?
There are two different disc drives they use for the 360. I know one is Samsung, but I can't remember the other one. Anyway, the one that isn't Samsung is supposed to be louder.
Someone please ban this Harry Kendall guy... please... Anyway, my 360 is crapping out on me as I type this and it also has a really loud disc drive. It sounds like it's going to explode every time a game boots up. I guess we all just have to keep replacing our 360s until we get one that actually works.
I think the other one is Hitachi. Mine is Samsung and is veeeryy loud, can't wait til I can drown it out with a nice 5.1 setupRebornInFlames

Yeah mine is the Samsung too, so were the drives on my first two 360's but this new 360 I have is really loud in comparison to my first two. Even when there is no disc in the drive. Could it be the fan? When I actually do put a disc in there it only adds to it but I think the fan is whats super loud. I already have a 600 watt 5.1 setup and it doesnt drown it out, one reason is that I can't go too lud since I live in a 2 family house but still. I swear it sounds like a 747 about to take off and I am nervous the thing is going to explode. Im really dissapointed or maybe the fan on this one is actually working unlike my first two which is why they crapped out. Who knows!
Wrongo!! Xbox360 has three disc drives! I had my xbox360 replaced and they gave me a brand new one with a better disc tray
1: The old disc tray-Loud 2: Samsung- Its black 3: Looks like the old one but has no little holes in it and the disc tray is not loose and it doesnt make as much noise
that's wierd..i have a samsung drive and the noise level is reallly low..sometimes i dun't even kno if it'z on while game is in there. well every systems really depends. u can realy tell which drive u have by opening up the drive and look at it. but the hitachi one makes super loud noises which is the one that my friend has. but i'd think u should go and replace for a new one then...i think most of the consoles that we all have rite now are the consoles that were left from LAUNCH. so microsoft is trying to get all of it out, and they are making a new batch.

there are 3 drives for the xbox 360 original one , hitachi, then samsung and the last one is from phillips. samsung and phillips are the only 2 good drives for it hitachi just blows..big time.
So I made a mistake, my new (3rd) 360 actually has the Hitachi Drive, which is why it is louder then my first two. So now does this mean that I have an older system? I have read some conflicting views but it sounds like the hitachi is a more reliable drive, just much louder. Any thoughts?

I have the Hitachi one and i dont think its that loud..
my brick fan makes a loud high pitch noise, from what i would believe is the fan in it. I don't know much about this stuff but i know it doesn't make me happy.
