Small related question is there any long term harm to laying a disk
on
it's side (i.e. it lays flat when the tower is up right but on it's
side
squeezed into a rack)
The ideal answer is 'no'. The 'safe' answer is 'possibly'. In other
words, I wouldn't do it personally, but I don't expect it to cause
harm. I'd suspect it'd be more succeptible to a head crash in a
vertical position.
Most drives in an drive array are on their side, seems not to be any
problem.
