Which computer DVDrom is the best for ripping?

I actually have 2 burners right now, both from Samsung. They are 16xx series. When I use EAC, actually it prefers one over the other and the reason is that one of them has buffer. To my surprise, it prefers the one without buffer, which is an older model. I don't know if it's only applicable to the burning process or the ripping process. That's why I'm asking ...

I haven't checked if the files are bit identical, although I assume so.

I just finished testing based on my 2 samsung DVD burner ... and the files are identical (Verified by FCIV). So I think for ripping it doesn't matter. I do recall EAC complains about one of my DVD burner having a buffer. I guess it only affects burning.

thanks to all!

Thanks, Dnewhous and Blackstonejd,

Does it mean that the output file from different CD rippers might be different?

I noticed from EAC, the tracks aren't always 100% (reported quality in the log).
