hard drive cooling

I am building a computer and am planning on using this hard drive, click here and was thinking of getting one of these, click here do you think it is a waste or is it worth it. I don't want my hd to over heat and I though that since its 10k rpm I should get a cooler for it. so whats your opinion?

You can prolly get a cheaper and just as effective HDD cooler or even just get a cheapo 80mm fan and point it at the drive ... dont matter much for those prices though. As for whether or not to get one, a HDD can hit 50C+ after a day of running an a simple 80mm fan setuo can keep that at 30C
