drives will manage but it can be lowered. Add a fan in front of the drives. will reduce 10 - 15 C

58 is very high you may damage the drives

ive read somewhere that drives last longer and are efficient between the temp 60-70deg. so i think 57deg is normal.

Given this time of the year its way too high..if cant add fans anytime soon, atleast openup the side panel buddy else ur drives at great risk.
