First of all put your computer on the floor before you damage something

Second it is clear that your case requires extreme cooling, 25C is an average case temperature with that amount of fans.

You should definitely invest in external hard drives or at least get yourself an extra case to move hard drives accross. It is not a good idea to have hard drives that close together.

Bleh.. dont put your case on the floor where dust is even worse, maybe one of the drives is going bad or is bad, everytime that drive is acessed it's possible that it could crash your pc.

I have 2 in / 1 out and I get 25c case temp, is that good?

uhh does ur power supply have ENOUGH power?
6 hd's is alot

25W per hard drive... I worked it out and it seems your PSU is well within limits... providing it isn't a cheap PSU.

ASUS Recommends.
Under-rated POWER SUPPLIES

If the max amps on your supply are less than:

28A +3.3v, 32A +5v and 16A +12v then you need a better one IN MOST CASES. This is not always true and is dependent on how much hardware is in your rig. You may not have an issue now but overdrawing a power supply that is working today can lead to problems down the road and if/when that supply fails it can and will take out other components with it when it dies.
