Can I keep and use my new External 3TB Seagate Hard Drive on its SIDE?
I just bought and HP 17.3 laptop at Best Buy and also an External 3TB Seagate drive to backup all files to it; I keep and use both on a small laptop stand on wheels.
My question is: Can I lay the Seagate on ITS SIDE and leave it this way? I worry it will fall! Thanks!!! D.
Of course it's designed to stand tall but, there are no moving parts inside (that I can detect anyways) so laying on side shouldn't be a real issue. Most important thing to look out for as w/ all electronics is you don't cover vents & cause to over heat... Will shorten life dramatically.
