Quantum HD mounted vertically in case

I had problems to fit the 3rd HD in my case, which is a quite old but reliable and solid HD from Quantum (Firebal L30). without entering details I managed to mount the HD vertically instead as the usuall horizontal way. It is working fine but I want to ask if this vertical mounting should be avoided at all costs due increased risk of damage to the HD

I wait your feedback regards this question
Thank you

(^^;?(Fundamentally, no problem. The point is that the installed place should receive less vibration.)

Even if it was installed at a skew, it would be better than receiving any subtile vibration from outside.

I agree with megumi amatuka. E-machines come with verticle mount HD's. One thing tho, HD's are one of the hot spots in a case(not the hottest, but they do get warm). So be sure not to block air flow in the case and consider adding or upgrading the case fan.
