You won't find any drive that can rip at 12x. Generally you'll never see more than 4-6x, depending on number of layers on the disc, Mfg of drive mechanism & condition of the disc.
USB 2.0 vs. USB 3.0 doesn't matter for ripping - 2.0 is faster than any drive can rip.
That being said, the two 5 1/4" drives I have available & the Buffalo slim I have available are USB 3.0, if that's truly a requirement for you.
My "For sale" threads are linked in my signature below.
Thanks,
Frank
