Is this setup OK?

I have a Fractal Design Define R4 and I removed both of my drive cages to maximize airflow. I want to know if it would be perfectly fine for me to move both my SSD and HDD to my optical drive cage. I planned to purchase this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817994163

I have a Samsung 840 EVO 120GB and WD Black 1TB.

Would heat/the fact that no air is flowing directly over the case from a fan lessen the effectiveness/lifespan of my drives?
