I have never used Thunderbolt to know the actual performance, but by the spec, it should work quite well.

Thunderbolt is 10 Gbps bi-directional (20 max in total at the same time, but only 10 max in either direction).
Either way, you're right in that an SSD inside a Thunderbolt enclosure should (theoretically) show no performance difference versus an internal SSD connected to a SATA III port.
