How do HDDs get sufficient air in hot swap bays? (zerobytes.monster)

So I'm looking to upgrade my server chassis.

My current one has 120mm fans in front and behind the hdds and keeps the drives around 30-35c

I'm looking at 20+ hot swap bays chassis and they have no fans at the front (because hot swap) and behind the hot swap bays is a gigantic PCB that interfaces with the hard drive bays.

Then behind that is a row of three 120mm fans.

It just seems like the server will suffocate?

I don't see how it's sufficient cooling at all.
