Should be fine. You will likely need hdd fan control to prevent fans from spinning up. Worth the buck for it.

From my experience the Barracuda line appears to have the 4-pin port needed for the HDD thermal sensor in the late 2009 iMac. My 2009 i7 iMac had a 1TB Barracuda from the factory. I was able to install a 2TB Barracuda in its place. It had the same temp port as the original drive. No fan control software was needed.
