Can I physically install my drive sideways, upside down or vertically?

Brief statement on drives' physical orientation when installed.

All Seagate and Maxtor-brand hard drives can be fitted sideways or upside down. As long as they are not moved during use and get enough cooling, it is irrelevant in which direction they are mounted.
