HD reversed may damage

--- I have 2 HD's (Seagate) in my office. As a matter of space, an HD was upside down (you own a corner w / in this case) and the other was normal. The question is whether there is any risk or if there is no problem pro HD remain in that position. Thank


--- I've read in various publications that it is not advisable, but none gave a reason.

By q --- I know there is no problem at all, he could stand up vertically or vertical side, but in all these positions he must make 90 degrees with the ground, he should never be tilted .!

--- No, no problem.
Who remembers the old micros Blaster !
Them, the HD or was the "upside down" or "hand." My
cousin had one to six months ago working perfectly until a lightning damaged.

--- According to a professor at the hardware that I had no problem, just that if you use long hd upside down and one day want to use it upside up then it will to crash ... ---

Guess not! My computer has a seagate and is q 2 ½ years he 's side ... ---

Kro colleague tbm I guess there is no problem here at work has one that already has put aside about 2 years and never had problem.

--- As the friend Felipe said, the HD can be in any position, held since the 90 th. Using the HD tilted plates can damage or misalign the magnetic needle reading.

That e .....

--- Well, at q know, there's no harm tb.
However, my Samsung q burned out of nothing was riding well - upside down - and the technical assistance qdo opened to look at the machine said I was not correct this, because the logic board of the HD was gathering dust, nitrate and other debris, q could end up causing some short components. In fact, he said I probably had been that (HD was VERY dirty), because the position in q it works no matter, since q is the proper tilt of 90 degrees ... 8O

--- True, it has the detail of the logic board accumulate dirt.
This case, if mounted upside down is necessary to make a periodic cleaning with a vacuum powder or a jet of air!! --- Ae

personal thank
I've always used a head p / up only by a matter of space so I put (naum does not one day, hehe).
But since this is one thing generates controversy eq doubt I'll find a way to accommodate it normally here.
Thanks
