Vertical or Horizontal?
 

Is it better to install a hard drive vertical or horizontal in your computer? What will make the hard drive last longer?

Vertical...

Whats wrong with diagonal?

i think it might collect a little less dust vertically

nice question.... anyone got some explanation?

Why though?

I'm talking about the disks.

i don't know, might wanna check out ask.com

I don't see anything saying either.

Ventilation is more important.

:1orglaugh I thought this was a sex question...

Maybe for you it is.

It is better to install in what ever way it just slids right in, if you have to bump it and turn it to get it in try the other way, which ever way is smoother is the way to go, because it is easier, that is the only difference, neither way will make it last longer, stay cooler or collect less dust!

I don't have any experience putting it on a vertical way. Just do what is normal and proper.

it doesn't matter. my technics professor told me there's no difference, as long as it's completely vertical or completely horizontal.
