I don't believe that is quite correct. I have a Dell Workstation that has
the drive cage so the drives are on edge. From the factory. It has two
10,000 rpm disks that run just fine. The way I understand it, that if a
drive is to be mounted on edge, it should be formated that way before use.

In one of my techie books, I think Jean Andrews' Exam Prep for the
A+, it says that running the hard disk on its side will damage it.
Some problem with balance. I can try to hunt up the reference if
it's important.
Good luck.
