Note
The current community default for new rippers. Slim external USB 3.0 drive with an LG BU40N mechanism inside. Flashable to LibreDrive for UHD ripping, and r/makemkv users say it's the easiest of the slim LG drives to flash. 6x rip speed gets through a 66GB disc in about 45 minutes. Available at Amazon and Micro Center. USB bus-powered, no separate power cable needed.
