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!

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.
