One downside of the 7200rpm drives is that they tend to be a bit noisy. But being fast was more important for me.

NAS drives have firmware (and hardware) designed to play well with a RAID, so they usually have a shorter error recovery process on a bad sector before they report a problem so they don't get kicked out of the RAID as a bad drive. A desktop drive will try longer and might become unresponsive to the controller.
A desktop drive might also have a faster burst data rate which can create extra heat, especially if it is a gaming drive like the WD Black, where as the NAS drive tries to maintain an even temperature and flow of data so it plays better with other drives in the array.
