They don't have problems, its a legacy from day's gone by when 7200rpm produced more heat from the power needed for the spin startup, most of the new one's have a slower initial startup so less vibration and less heat produced, and you usually always get a larger cache on the 7200rpm.
If you want to play it 100% safe go with a 5400, but personally I'd go with a good 7200 which I think gives a slightly better performance even if its just a placebo effect.
