Well, I would suggest making sure that the fan is uppermost when lying
it on it's side. If it's lower, the heat may collect inside the
cabinet and cause some trouble. If what you're worried about is the
orientation of the HD itself, don't worry. I've never heard anything
that indicates a HD can't be operated at any orientation.
