Portable optical drive stack for parallel ripping
I am looking for a transportable ripping solution that allows me to rip min. 4 CDs in parallel.
I am specifically not looking at a nimbie type solution, as that one only rips one CD at once. I am looking for the speed benefit of ripping several CDs in parallel.
What I have in mind is something along the following lines:
[LIST][*]Laptop running dbpoweramp batch ripper[*]optical drive tower with min 4 optical drives that can be connected to laptop via USB3 (something along the lines of an Addonics ST5DVREU3, which does not seem to be available anymore)[/LIST]
Is anyone aware of an optical drive tower of this sort, that is readily available? Does anyone have any practical experience with this sort of setup? As I see it the optical drives should be recognized by batch ripper as individual drives which should to away with potential compatibility issues.

You might need to take 4 usb wires from the laptop, rather than use a hub, cd drives seem to be able to block the whole usb port when doing certain things.
