As long as your hard drives are in a semi-open spot in your case, or you have a minimal amount of air flow on them they should be fine. You don't need to go spend money on fans for them unless you are getting them for the bling factor or you are having a problem with them running too hot.

Situations where you need active cooling on hard drives:
1. 2 Raptors stuck together running in raid0 2. Multiple hard drives stuck together in some sort of raid function 3. If there is poor airflow in general 4. If your hard drives are above 45C

edit: where did you learn that 45c for a hdd is too hot? is that dependent on the manufacturer specifications, or the rpm's of the hdd, or what?

HDTune will also. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I feel comfortable trusting it.
