I currently have my hard drive suspended in my 5.25" bay by bungee cords (got the vibration silencing idea from SPCR). My hard drive's been getting too hot lately and I feel has been the cause for a bunch of crashes... thinking of moving it back down to the 3.25" bays except mount it sideways for more clearing room.
My question:
Are there any reasons why I shouldn't be mounting a hard drive sideways (ie. the hdd platters are now perpendicular to the ground, note that they are usually mounted so that the platters are horizontal and parallel to the ground)? Will it eventually cause problems?
