i was wondering if there is a list or something of dvd drives that i could buy so that i could rip my games using that dvd drive instead of my 360s

Got ya before you got flamed for asking a question that easily could have been searched.
You can get a Samsung SH-D162C drive from an online retailer and flash it with kreon's custom firmware. Usually i would help you out but i dont know too much on these drives.

in the pinned at the top,

there is a link to Xbox Backup Creator /SH-D162C BackUp and in there are the 4 models (around page 77)

i was hoping that it wasn't the only one because they are going for like 50 on ebay wasn't looking to spend that much but o well
