One option might be an x in y drive bay that slides into the top forward
facing builtin drive bay. (Where x > y.) These are available in both hot
and non-hot swapping versions. They use fan(s) forcing air over the drives
to keep the temps down. Search on "drive bays" or "drive cage" to get an
idea of what I'm talking about.

If you don't mind a mini rack sitting outside of your case this is an
inexpensive ($30) option:
