I think the original poster's referring to electromagnetic interference 
between the two devices. If there's a hole in the bottom of the Mac, 
there's no electromagnetic shielding between it and any disk drive it 
might be sitting on. However, there is no hole in the bottom of the Mac; 
the fan outlet is in the back, just like it is on the SE. There should be 
no problem with any external hard disk.
