3 of my 4 HDDs are running pretty hot (56, 50, 38, 56). My case is the Corsair Carbide 200R and the 3.5" drive chamber is pretty cramped - especially when fully loaded. I have seen discussions here regarding what my options are for fan placement in this case, but as I'm looking to specifically cool the drives (temps everywhere else are great) I'm hoping for some advice... Will I get the cooling I need if I were to lower the front intake fan to the bottom so it draws air right into the drives and add a bottom intake and a top exhaust fan?

Best bet, if all your other temps are good, is to just add in additional 120mm fan in the front/bottom slot. That will be the most effective way to cool the bays.
