Very interesting, though I wonder how painfully slow a 3600 rpm drive would be for everyday use. I still remember when the iBooks and Mac minis had 4200 rpm drives and, though useable, there was a noticeable improvement with 5400 rpm drives.
Analogous to trying to go back to dial up from a broadband connection, I wonder if it will be the same trying to go back to a 4200 (or 3600) rpm drive from a 5400 (or 7200) rpm drive.
