I have a drive exactly like it with a 50 pin adaptor. It will go into the lower drive bay of your 7500 with just enough clearance for data and power cables. Since it runs extremely "hot" attach an extra 60 mm (Athlon) cooling fan to the grill at right angle to the back of the drive to force air into the cpu daughter card and out through the power supply.
