i'm looking for recommendations for how to rip them to hard drive

Various good tools and storage methods addressed, but most of your
effort will be spent on tagging. I recommend using Musicbrainz as a
source and avoiding the thieves who are Gracenote and their "CDDB", not
to be confused with FreeDB.
What I use is Asunder to rip to flac and tag and Picard for more
advanced tagging. Both are GUI tools. For naming I prefer
Music/Artist/Album/01. Artist - Track.flac
The approach I take to ripping my hundreds of CDs is to do a session of
multiple discs by the same artist or some other grouping while listening
to some of the ripped tracks. This gives a direct reward for some boring
work.
Documentation on ripping media from disc found on the web is frequently
out-of-date.
