Hi,

Those temps are quite high for any drive if at rest. You can move cables around to permit better air flow, move drives apart in the case more to allow separation of two heat producing parts, use a hard drive fan (normally not needed), make sure you have good case air flow with a rear fan pulling hot air out of the case, and a front fan pulling in cool air in the front of the case. Add a side fan or top fan if necessary and the case is designed so you can add an additional fan.
