Rippings cd's from internal optical drive vs usb 2.0 optical drive?

Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

I'm thinking of building another PC and the case I like has no spot for an optical drive.

I rarely use my drive. When I buy a new cd I rip it, that's about it. Once in a great while I'll install an old game or other software.

Do usb drives rip a lot slower than internal drives, or is it about the same?

Thanks for any comments.

PS: The usb 3.0 drives appear to be crazy expensive compared to 2.0.

PPS: Case I'm looking at is Phanteks Evolve ATX. Looks pretty nice.
