I have no idea if this is the best place for this particular question, but…

 

At the moment I’m using a pretty simple 8X external Blu Ray burner to rip my movies to my Plex server, but the process takes more time per disc than I want. Is there a particular external drive that is considered best for ripping blu rays, or even an internal drive with an external enclosure that people recommend? Right now I only own standard blu rays, so I haven’t even looked into a 4K Blu Ray burner, so I have no idea if I should even consider that for my setup right now.

I highly suggest reading into LibreDrive info from MakeMKV. It's a ton of information to unpack, but for ripping blurays, it can't be beat.

You might even find that your current drive can be flashed to enable more functionality. Just look up your exact model number.

I’ll check this out today, thank you. If that speeds up my process substantively, then that solves my issue. If not, the search continues!
