Can a HD be mounted in any orientation?

[hellinheaven2005]

Usually people mount the HD flat, and never upside down.



Will mounting the hd sideways or upside down effect the preformance or damage the HD in any way?

Sideways presents no problems, or at least that I heard off since many companies offer external hard drive encloures that are designed to mount sideways...



Upside down, never tried it... I wouldn't think it causes a problem, but I'm an EE, not a ME...

this is what i found on the seagate website:





8.3 Drive orientation

The drive may be mounted in any orientation. All drive performance characterizations, however, have been

done with the drive in horizontal (discs level) and vertical (drive on its side) orientations, which are the two preferred

mounting orientations.



so no problem, but you schould keep the bottom PCB clear from any dust,...

I've had mine mounted in any, and every position possible....with no ill affects. In fact, in a case with low airflow, i like them verticle...as i find they dissipate heat better(heat doesn't "collect" under the bottom...PCB side). GL

That's actually a really good point. Now where can I get a drive cage that allows me to mount verticlally...
