73317 2002-08-23 01:37:00 Here's a silly question: Can a HDD be mounted upside down? btong (1066)
73318 2002-08-23 01:44:00 Yes. Just be carefull nothing metallic can drop/touch the electronics (unless it's one of the newer all covered types such as put out by Seagate).

While checking one of my own drives (an older Seagate) I noticed that Seagate specifically said, "This drive may be mounted vertically in any orientation but should not be mounted upside down."

Gowaaaaan, buy a longer lead. :D
