My son’s iMac has Thunderbolt but not USB 3. I use TB for a boot SSD. But that drive was wicked expensive. And it doesn’t have its own port for daisy chaining, and the iMac has only one TB port. So what, if I want another peripheral, I’m supposed to spend hundreds of dollars on a hub? His iMac is a fine machine but it would have been great if it had had USB3 instead.
I would have gotten a hub and booted by USB3. Then you'd have that iMac fully tricked out and updated.
TB has a lot of flexibility. It's expensive but an option at least.
