We are probably gonna see lots of devices like this one in the coming weeks and months as it's very easy technology (like a cheapmod for the xbox1), so anyone can make it ... all you need are the parts.
*Update* Also note that while the Samsung-Toshiba debug FW does not get recognised in Windows (yet) and does require a special bios (Xtreme 0800) to dump Xbox 360 disc in Windows, the Hitachi-LG debug FW (modeb) is recognised ... so for the Hitachi-LG you will not need a special separated PC FW to read Xbox 360 discs. You can however still use the dual FW to keep the original FW so you can switch between original and hacked firmware incase Microsoft will start checking for it on LIVE (they don't do it so far though, atleast not as far as we know).
