No "you may need" or "maybe" about it. Forgetting the spin up power and even the circuit board power, 4 hard drives draw from 50 to 55 watts just in normal operation. The power supply is rated at 60 watts. Now figure in the circuit board and the near triple power draw of hard drives during spin up. Pretty easy math here. Just get yourself a 4 drive unit, you will be money ahead.
