Hi,
Years ago I remember that hard disks had to be positioned horizontally, printed board facing down. The documentation said so. If you wanted to place them vertically, the documentation also specified which face had to look down, but warned that the wear would be worse.
So I always put them horizontally, without thinking.
But I'm about to place one vertically, and I don't see any mention of this in the documentation. Have things changed, or have I missed something in the docs?
I'm using seagate:

Once asked a Hard Disk tech support guy (Hitachi) and he said any orientation except upside down (meaning label side down). This was specific to his drives, and had to do with the type of bearings used. This was back in the 90's so it probably doesn't matter these days. -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
