Access speeds aren't as quick, but it's quick *enough*.
Any I/O intensive games (open world games, etc), I would want on an internal drive.
So you mean the usb 3.0 will bottleneck for games like assassin creed and Hit Man 2?
Some USB3 controllers are better than others; it really depends on the computer/drive. Generally, eSATA or SATAIII drives are quicker, though.
My NAS drive uses a 4 TB WD Red, which is often what they put in their MyBook enclosures, and it is quite a slow drive.
