Shouldn't be a problem, but most of the 7200 rpm (and 10.000 and 15,000 rpm!) drives run naturally very hot (because of air friction). The drive itself doesn't mind too much, but you may need to install an extra case fan to keep the rest of the stuff cool. Most modern cases have provision for an extra case fan and many modern mobos have a connector for an extra fan.
