I didn't know that CD drives came in different sizes.

Get a plextor something and then put it in an external enclosure from newegg. Sweetest mobile ripping setup, evar.

Be careful when recommending Plextors. At the time of this writing they don't make their own drives anymore.

Well, at any rate, find a drive with the features you want from the drive database, and throw it in an external enclosure.
