Fastest DVD Drive for Ripping?

[Jynx980]

What is the fastest DVD drive for ripping movies that you would recomend?

Poineer 116 maybe?

It says here that the BTC BDV316B is the fastest, but they are not known for reliability. The Lite-On LTD163 is not far behind in performance, but is much more reliable.

My Lite-on rips from around 10MB/s to above 20 MB/s to my Maxtor HD. That's pretty damn fast.

The lite-on hasn't been able to read some of the movies i get from netflix, but they were REALLY scratched up. it's worked fine on all discs that were only moderately destroyed. I don't think netflix has any movies that aren't scratched. I think they drag them along some concrete before they start shipping them.

I've got a Pioneer 105S (the 16X DVD drive that came out right before the 106S) and it rips great.

Have to agree with PlioTronX that the LiteOn is probably the best match of speed and reliability.

Another vote for the Liteon. DAE at 40X yeah!

Storage Review gave the Artec/Affrey DVD-ROM drive top scores for a while. It's been a good drive for me.
