More heat, and if you'll end up in a situation where you have to swap PSU too, it can become expensive.

Re: P180- top or bottom harddrive cage? And where to put PSU
Should I use the top or bottom harddrive cage for my harddrive? I have the best experience with the lower cage, it seems sturdier to me. Also- the PSU cooler is unnecessary for me, since I have a great PSU that cools itself. So where do I put it? Or do I not use it at all? If you have a PSU with a ...

Performance differences between different 7200rpm drives are so small as to be meaningless. Yes, you will get higher transfer rates from higher density drives but seek times will always be essentially the same as they are largely limited by rotation rate of the drive. In two drives of identical siz...

I didn't say 3 platters would be a problem :roll: , but lower platter count for the same capacity is better for noise because there are less heads to move when seeking.
