MakeMKV will rip at whatever speed the drive will send the data; I've seen as much as 10-17x on some DVDs and 8x on BDs, using an old 2-core Celeron using Samsung drives.
If you search for your drive's model number and "riplock", you can see if it actually has riplock, and if anyone has revised firmware to remove it. But a lot of drives from manufacturers like Panasonic have a setting that limits speed to keep the sound level down... and there are utilities to disable that, so they can run full speed.

I'm also looking into this. Can you suggest a utility that you know performs well? Thanks.
The Panasonic utility to remove quiet mode is on their website, according to messages posted here previously. It is part of the utility disk that is normally sent with retail versions of drives, but, as of the last report, is a Windows-only utility.
