I got a bunch of DVDs my local library was getting rid of and there are a few very obscure ones that I would like to archive. However I am unsure how to get the data from the DVD into a shareable format what’s the easiest way to do this? Thanks!

Yea, like $15
But they are slooow for ripping, about 4x longer to rip the same DVD.
My internal drive rip’s a DVD in 10-15 minutes, the external takes an hour.
I’m pretty sure it’s a USB bottleneck. Maybe there’s USB 3 drives?
Yeah, there are USB 3.0 drives. Ultimately, the speeds will get bottlenecked by disc read speeds, instead of USB.
Yes, they can be slow. This is a case-by-case thing. If you plan on ripping a LOT of optical disks you may want an internal drive. If you just want to archive a few disks like the OP, an external makes more sense to me.
You can get a USB 3.0 external drive, too, but they are more expensive. The Hitachi LG Data Storage GP96Y is supposed to be quite good, and works with phones, too.
