We had this already here a while ago. Obviously nobody can give
a full guarantee, but noone really had bad experiences. To make
things a bit surer, they all recommend to newly low-level format
your drive in the new position. Or you might ask Quantum or the
respective drive manufacturer for their recommendations. There
may arise problems when a drive is turned upside down or mounted
at a random angle (not a multifold of 90 degrees).
