It's been done for years, and is still being done (in servers, for example). No harm caused by sideways mounting.

But, I have heard a rumour that if you initially mount a drive sideways, run it for a period of time, and then mount it flat (horizontal), the drive wont like it. I have no further info than this.

I remember WAY back (like, 1992) I was told that changing a drive's orientation required a reformat.  I did it, several times, mostly because it burned time in class. :)


Maybe thats the rumour that I heard to...
