I agree, there is more overhead. But since I'm interested mainly in external SSDs I'm tracking those :) Please feel free to create a similar list with 2.5", mS

I agree, there is more overhead. But since I'm interested mainly in external SSDs I'm tracking those :) Please feel free to create a similar list with 2.5", mSATA or m.2 drives, it probably is even more shocking. The other awesome thing about those 3 I linked is that the interface also has changed: Micro USB 3.0 => UBS-C Gen 1 => Thunderbolt.
