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?
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.
Yeah, there are USB 3.0 drives. Ultimately, the speeds will get bottlenecked by disc read speeds, instead of USB.
