HD vertical position - bad?

[dalon]

Hi! I have a tower which I have put on it's side. The HD is in a vertical position this way. Is this a bad thing?

Thanks!!

No, I don´t think so...not with new drives anyway.
There might be a problem with your CD-roms though.

I agree. That should not be a problem

no problem. any multiple of 90 degrees should be ok, even upside down.

n*90 degree?? What makes you think that e.g. 45 degree is a problem? Ofcourse, its probably hard to find a cabinet where its actually possible to mount the drive like that, but Im sure it doesnt harm it.

Your probably right
Its just taht 45 degrees isnt used by anyone i dont think
