I started ripping CDs again — this disc drive is on sale

I stopped ripping CDs in the early 2010s and began again in 2026. Maybe it’s about the state of the world or a desire to own my data; either way it felt right. Strange hobby now, but if my internet dies for a day I still have my favorite albums.

To start, you need a disc drive. The PeroBuno model I use is on sale for $16, a 19% saving. There’s a Suidek option for $25 that adds extra USB ports, and pricier variants with a SATA SSD slot for $37 or an NVMe slot for $40.

The drive includes a 2-in-1 USB cable, Type-A and Type-C, and is rated to 5 Gbps—fast enough for ripping and writing discs. It handles CD and DVD copying and can write replacement discs if you need them.

Amazon shows the PeroBuno at its lowest price in 30 days, and the Suidek options are also low on the site’s price tracker, so both represent savings.
