with nexus media importer even if not rooted the way is easy to go, nexus 10 can read self powered hard drive without problems, but you should have a look on the external drive power consumption: with usb sticks there are no problems cause they don't need so much power, but on external drives it depends mainly by the Ah requested by the drive itself.
The speed is amazing, tried to stream a 2k resolution video from an external 2,5 hdd drive boxed with Usb 3.0, really no problems smooth as butter. The internal drive required almost 500mAh to work, and was fine. As soon as i replaced the internal drive with a more power eater one (about a 650mAh one) the external drive stopped to spin up and work.
So the point is the usb OTG is workin' amazing on the nexus 10 in stock rom too, but take a look on the external drive power requirements :good:
