an 80mm fan, even a low CFM one can keep your hard drive very cool. mount one so it moves some air over your drive and you'll be fine.

sure, it should be cooler up there.
i've just got an 80mm fan moving air across the bottom of the drive, and they aren't much more than warm.

Looks like good placement to me! ;)
What Ive done is place the drives inside a 5 n a quarter slot, then modded the faceplates with a fan in it. So the air flows over the drives rather easily and really helps keep them cool.
