Agreed for the HDD carriages, but I wouldn't recommend sucking warm air (ambient +5°C-ish) from the case through the rad.
It would be better to suck fresh ambient room air through the rad into the case.
The rad will heat the air only by a couple of degrees which doesn't matter for the the inside of the case. But it matters a lot for your coolant temp since at best it will be a couple of degrees higher than the air you use to cool the rad.
When I started my WC-ed Lian Li PC-70 project (july 2001) and showed it on the forum here everybody stated that it was bad to suck warm air from the case through my rad.
That pushed me to make a complete separate air intake and outtake for my rad...
