EDIT: Apparently I underestimate how "much" faster than light actually is... according to the codex entry:

With a mass effect drive, roughly a dozen light-years can be traversed in the course of a day's cruise.

That would mean about 33 years across the galaxy in a straight line... not too bad actually.
