Do you think is good to have fan for psu and hdd ?

Grigor

What? Your PSU should already have a fan. You should have fan to give your drives fresh air flow to prevent overheating and keeping your componment cools with prolong product life.

If your HDD is at the front of your case behind where the intake fans would go then you should be fine as the fans will intake air past the Hard drive bays and keep them cool...

As for your your PSU, im not sure why it wouldnt have a fan but if it doesnt then i'd probably worry... Its on the bottom if you werent already aware of that xD

A few months ago, I had my current 2TB drive doing a 3 hour sustained write session at maximum speed (130MB/s) because I was cloning my old Raid 0 array over. Before, the new drive, which was only 5400rpm, was going into the 40C range. When I added a small 80mm fan blowing on top of it, the temps dropped to 30C. Most people recommend keeping it somewhere in between 30-40C to have it live longer, so it can definitely help to have a fan nearby.

Which case would this be? PSU fan slot is probably just vent for having PSU intake through it. For drives, usually passive airflow front front intakes is enough. But if you have case with separate compartment for drives, you can add fan. No harm doing that, high performance drives can get hot.
