Yeah the heat concern is mainly that of stability and data integrity. A HD that isn't cooled sufficiently *will* fail much sooner. You will get bad blocks more frequently, and the drive will become useless much sooner. I don't like to lose data off a HD.

Also too much heat can cause graphic glitches, system hangs (of course MS will take the heat for it even though it's not their fault....bad pun but true), program crashes (again MS will take blame even though it's not their fault), etc.

But whether it adds too much heat depends on how much more the drive creates and how much the system can handle. The drive may only produce negligible heat over the current drive. No telling....
