    Well, in my opinion, you can never have enough cooling, but in reality,
adding a new disk probably won't raise the case temperature that much.
However, if it makes you feel better, you can look into some ventilation
options for the case, to bolster the airflow over the components. This adds
up to longer life and less maintenance woes, generally.
