USB 3/3.1 or SATA speed

All - fairly simple question, but haven't found the right or clear answer:
What is faster -- USB 3, 3.1 or SATA(internal) 6Gb/s? (for ripping)
I can go internal or external and have two systems with the WH16NS40 and WH16NS60.
THanks!

Given that you're talking speed for ripping, it doesn't matter - all exceed the maximum bandwidth of a UHD drive. In fact, USB2 is faster than the drive.
SATA has the advantage of being "native" to the drive, so you can do things like flashing the firmware, which not all USB interfaces allow. But, it's also limiting in that motherboards have limited numbers of SATA ports.

So far my experience with USB 3, Internal SATA or eSATA were Okay. The ripping speeds are similar.
