Pick up an internal drive and get a good enclosure. Way better than any of the external junk on Amazon. Better yet get one of the LG bluray drives that support ripping 4k discs. Might need to flash the firmware. That’s what I use and it’s great and really fast for plain cds as a bonus.

I’m a fan of LibreDrive, but have you heard about any similar firmwares for this purpose?

More info about LibreDrive on the forum that hosts discussion about it and tools that it works with:

There was a thread for the drives model which I don’t have near me at the moment. Was a kinda sketchy windows app but now makemkv shows libredrive.

Yeah, there are a lot of installer apps/helper scripts that assist with installing LibreDrive firmware for compatible drives on different threads on the forum. I was asking about other approaches to doing the same thing that LibreDrive/MakeMKV does.
