Well, I just bought a couple of 600 mb Imprimis Wren IV ESDI drives...
and the factory manual says that they may be horizontally or vertically
mounted, but should be kept within 10 degrees of level.  It also recommends
data written in one position be read in the same position.

Imprimis seems to making the finest drives around.  Even the manual is
decent.  I've bought several, and so far no sweat.
