You can not put any PC DVD drive in the xbox. 

Samsung 616T is the only PC drive I know of that will work in the Xbox.  It has to be flashed with diferent firmware and a few mods internaly.  But... It will read any media DVD -r/+r CD -r/-rw, And it reads DVD disks about 16x faster. 

Check ebay for the drive.  They sell them already modified for the Xbox.  But hurry I understand samsung hasent made that drive for a while now so it is becoming rare.

also you can find a new or reman. stock xbox drive on ebay kinda cheap.  Try and stay away from the Thompson drives, I hear the break more often.

Hope this helps.
