Depends on how good of airflow you have in your case.

i am pretty sure my case has good airflow. and my room has a controlled air temp below 22 degrees Celsius

thats pretty warm
thats running hotter than your HDD 

my ssd and hdd usually runs 29-35c but thats because i have a 140mm intake fan directly cooling them

i do have a 120 mm fan for intake and it is directly aimed only on the hdd since the ssd is located so far up

i see but do they usually have a big gap in temp difference ?

Currently my 850 EVO is running at 30C while my HDDs are running at 25C. Your difference is a little bigger tho, but it may depend on the SSD and architecture and manufacturing and where the temperature sensor is etc., but 40C won't shorten lifespan or anything. 

i am just afraid that it might melt the plastic (have no idea what is the melting point of the plastic used), since my trays are made of plastic not metal
