I heard something about cathodes using a lot of energy. The PSU in there is 380W, do you think that might be a problem?

It's definitely more quiet, but 7200 RPM drives don't make a lot of noise anyway. The noise comes from the vibrations reverberating in the case which is cured by suspending the drive.
I got it because it was $50, though. Normally laptop drives are $1/gb and desktops $1/5gb. There are no ~100gb desktop drives available anymore so this was simply the cheapest I could find.
