Silly quezzie time - what is the best orientation for a hard drive? 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. Now I know that there are some vertical external HD cases but thought they might have contained 'special' HDs. Presume some gyro force generated so no silly angles - but otherwise? Any wise old owls out there with the definitive???
The flavour of the month seems to be horizontal discs. I've even run discs upside down, though not through any long term tests.
The important thing is to not change the angle while the discs are spinning!
