The preferred and quickest method to read information from multiple worksheet cells is to read the information into an array variable using a single read operation.
When you are reading information from worksheet cells into an array variable the Variant datatype is the preferred one to avoid problems with mixed datatypes since worksheet cells can contain multiple data types, including error values.
The preferred and quickest method to write multiple items to a worksheet range is using an array variable and write all the information using one single write operation.

Sub Example_ReadingFromAndWritingToMultipleCells()
    Dim varItems As Variant
    ' reading information from multiple cells into a variant variable returns a two-dimensional array (lower bound = 1)
    ' reading information from a single cell into a variant variable returns the cell value/formula only (not an array variable)
    varItems = Range("A1:D1000").Value ' read multiple values from a cell range
    'varItems = Range("A1:D1000").Formula ' read multiple formulas from a cell range
    'varItems = Range("A1:D1000").FormulaR1C1 ' read multiple formulas in R1C1 format from a cell range
    'varItems = Worksheets("WorksheetName").Range("DefinedRangeName").Value ' read multiple values from a named cell range
    'varItems = Worksheets("WorksheetName").ListObjects(1).Range.Value ' read multiple values from a defined table range (included the header row)
    'varItems = Worksheets("WorksheetName").ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange.Value ' read multiple values from a defined table range (excluded the header row)
