Hello there,
I have a new slim case but it seems like the hard drive should be placed vertically. Do you happen to know about any long term problems from running a hard drive in vertical position or in upside down horizontal position?
I have never read about issues caused by hard drive placement positions. I have also never seen a vertical hard drive placement in any IBM servers i have seen but have seen it in HP servers a few times.
So, anyone has a solid reason why hard drives should not be placed vertically? Let's not discuss about cooling, since placement influences cooling only marginally.
Thx all.
