You say that Clive but all Pi variants before 4 feature a shared bus for the USB and LAN interfaces which is known to be problematic. The Pi4 splits them and provides a full gigabit LAN and also includes USB3 ports enabling users to attach a full USB3 drive which is much faster than USB2. Apart from the overheating issue or non issue depending on how you look at it a Pi4 + USB3 drive should be much quicker than a Pi3 + USB3 drive attached to a USB2 port.
