  Does it matter how an external drive sits?

  Hi,
  Is there any information on whether it is better to have an external drive lying flat or standing up on its side?
  Thank you

  Just follow the manufacturer’s instructions. One of the things they’ll tell you is the recommended way to set up your drive.

  I’ve heard if you set it up vertical never change to horizontal and vise vs.

  hmmm, interesting. Never heard that one, though I guess it could be true. In my case, I do switch orientation of a drive sometimes depending on where I’m setting it up. Of course, never with the drive turned on!
