Hi all, I'v noticed that in my friends Dell computer, the hard drive (which I might add is a crappy Maxtor one) is not lying flat but is placed vertically (or standing up). I remember reading in some computer magazing that CD's spin better when on their side (which is why PS2 can be placed vertically), so I was wondering if this is also the case for hard drives?
There isn't much information about this anywhere on the internet (that I could find) so does anyone know from experience: do hard drives operate better, or last longer, when placed vertically?
