I agree with everything you have just said and i will still be getting a Thunderbolt drive this month.

I have a PS4 and my USB 3.0 drives really messes with its ability to connect to the internet.

It's so bad that i have had to keep one of the drives turned off most of the time and the other 2 are connected with FW 800 instead.

I guess the bottom line is not getting my ass handed to me when i play CoD online is worth the extra cost.
