HDD Vertical vs Horizontal

[Version_3]

Does mounting a drive vertically, so the cables enter from the bottom, cause any issues even if I've lowered the hdd temps by 5-10c?

Edit:
Horiz: anywhere from 41 (after boot) to 49 (after defrag)
Vert: 35 (after boot) to 39 (after defrag)

As long as it doesnt overheat there wont be a problem.

No, some SFF cases have vertical drive mounts anyway.

I thought I'd post in this thread (since it's a similar question):

I'm upgrading soon, and moving to a new case. I have a 500GB that was formatted and used horizontally (~1 year). If I move this over to a Lian Li or P182, both of which have vertically mounted HD cages, will I have a problem with the 500GB?

And vice versa (if I upgrade 2-3 years down the road and go back to horizontal mounting).
