      I've flashed drives using non-via ports, so technically , NO it isn't a must ! Recommendation YES , a must , NO.

        I have flashed with Nvidia chipsets, Intel P45 chipsets. But what i found is that the VIA is the most reliable and compatable for xbox drives.

        If using a VIA just remember to remove drivers when dealing with a liteon. All other drives can be flashed with the drivers in

          like above not nesscesary but makes it way easyer a sata card via 6421 is the preferred choice and is about 6-7 quid on ebay make sure its via 6421 as this solves most connection detection problems people have on flashing drive and good luck..

            As long as you have a sata port on your moherboard its not necessary.

            What type of dvd drive you got in the 360.
