[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1563139"] I wouldn't worry too much about the drive requirement. The reason they want a 7200 RPM drive or better is because you're editing video. Video takes up masses of space, so the best way to handle this is with an external. Luckily, both the 21 and 27 inch iMacs have Thunderbolt and USB 3, meaning you can add a fast drive externally and use either native thunderbolt connections or USB 3. TB has adapters so you can use Firewire 800 drives or eSATA drives, but even the USB 3 might be quick enough for your needs. [/QUOTE]
