Would a Raptor help with ripping DVDs?

Not at all. A 8x DVD burner can burn at about 14.4MB/s and 7200RPM drives can sustain around 40MB/s. The only thing that would help is a faster burner and possibly faster media to meet the burner spec.

He said ripping, not burning. So the DVD ROM will read about about twice the speed you specified for burning and the hard drive will write slower than it will read.
HOWEVER.
Any 7200Rpm hard drive will be fine.
That's not the bottleneck.
CPU.

Yes, well once you get a 16x drive there's really nothing you can do to upgrade. A CPU will help with transcoding it if you plan to burn it to a single layer disc later, that's about all you can do.
 
It would be kinda hard to rip a DVD from a 56x CD drive for obvious reasons (or atleast I would think they are obvious)
