Probably not. Having a cooling device will probably not dramatically increase the performance, but it may increase the life of your drives.
Some cases have a spot for a fan right in front of the drives. If this is the case, just get a fan (cheap) and pop it in (the air should be flowing toward the drives). If there is no spot for a fan, you would need a cooling thing that fits in a hard drive bay (these are more expensive).

Which has the quality to resist
Our oldest and most trusted catalyst.
It is a substance we cannot cremate
By temperatures known to our Laboratory.
