Changing drive orientation

Options

‎02-25-2008 02:36 PM

I've got a 120GB seagate harddrive that I've been using now for a couple of years. I'm going to get a new case soon that will require the hard drive to be in a vertical orientation for the best air flow.

Can changing the orientation from horizontal to vertical after several years of use cause any problems?

That is no problem.  Please see the sticky thread at the top of this board for more information.
