Hey there Cvdasfg,
 
You could also check out WD Green as it's a low-power cool and quiet drive that is designed for secondary storage and backups: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=tDDSos
One thing that I would suggest is to keep the drive either in an enclosure or in a ESD bag while you are storing it in the safe, just to make sure the data on it doesn't get damaged by external factors. :)
