That is plenty. I think the only time I'd worry about having them "cooled" would be if I had a ton of drives in a big RAID that were just getting slammed constantly with hits (not likely for home use). In that case, I might have a fan or two blowing on the array in a climate controlled environment, but I doubt even that would be 100% necessary.
