I am thinking to get one. Have you ripped blu ray discs with the drive before. Can you tell me how long it takes to rip it. I have a decent system with Q6600 at 3.3 with 8 gb. The weakest link in my setup is the drive read speed. i can live with 20 to 25 minutes rippping time. if it takes more than that i will wait more time until they come out with faster drive. please let know your experience. i will appreciate it.
