More likely EAC has detected something about the drive that it suspects might compromise rip quality. Open the drive options settings (EAC menu -> Drive options) and select the "Extraction Method" tab. I'm guessing that "Secure mode..." is selected, which is the best one to use if you're wanting to make sure that you get accurate results. If you want to wing it for better speed, try "Fast mode" or "Burst mode". The better option is probably to get yourself a better drive.
