Ripping DC Games To PC

I bought a used optical drive (Samsung TS-H352C) and a universal IDE/SATA to USB 3.0 adapter on Ebay and Amazon just now, so I can start ripping DC games to my computer. Has anybody used this method before? If so, how well does it work for you?
I bought Daytona USA 2001 and Ready 2 Rumble Boxing on EBay to start my (emulated) DC gaming experience. Which is better: Redream or Flycast?

Flycast
You CANNOT rip a GD-ROM (Dreamcast disc) with a normal cd/dvd drive.

Actually, according to the Dreamcast emulation wiki, the optical drive I bought is one of about two or three that is, in fact, compatible with Dreamcast GD-ROM games. And then there’s a program you can download called DCDumper that will let you use one of those compatible drives to dump DC games to PC.

Not much point since all the games have been dumped your game will match 100% exact to the ones that been dumped. Above is not 100% and takes hours .
