why the hell would you water cool a HDD?

because you can

Pretty much entirely pointless. 

 

Watercooling other components isn't cost effective, cooling an HDD is just throwing money away.

To be perfectly honest with you, I've yet to see a hard drive get hot enough to warrant any type of cooling, just my 2 pence.

It's basically like water cooling RAM, do you need it no, but does it look good I guess. If you want a cover to hide the drive to make it look better or blend into the system there are aluminum block heatsinks to reduce noise and make it look less obvious in a system.

SSD is the way to go. Cool, very fast and quiet.
