Best hard drive cooling solutions?

I just noticed today that my HDDs are running VERY hot right now and would like to take care of the problem ASAP. I currently have 3 HDDs running inside my case and would like to find the best method to cool them down.

Any suggestions? Should I use an individual cooling system for EACH HDD or is there a solution that will handle all three smoothly?

I have 2 case fans installed at the moment in addition to the standard CPU & GPU fans as well as two PSU fans.

I would get an individual cooler for each hard drive. Hope you don't mind the noise. No fan setup is going to cool 3 hard disks efficently.

Get 2 case fans blowing cool air in from the front onto your HDs. Also, if possible, try to have space between your HDs. That's what I did with my 2 WD Raptors and 2 WD SE drives. It's been over a year and no problems. Before this,once in a long while, I would get corrupted drives due to overheating problems.
