My son in law has just had his office and network moved, and the IT specialist (their term/claim) re-installed with all the towers horizontal rather than vertical.
The drive heads sit so close to the disk surface it is impossible to see the gap with the naked eye, you need a very powerful microscope. I can't see how the orientation of a drive would have any affect on it's performance or reliability in terms of this. The motors are powerful and robust, not like they were 20 years ago.
I think the IT specialist must have serious amounts of spare time on his/her hands to undertake a task like this.
