[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1057920, member: 109222"] Hi. Maybe some special drives can work the same if Upside down. But from my personal long time experience I can tell you, most of the drives are failing really quickly (some weeks up to some month) if you mount them the wrong direction. It's not even a year ago I last time had such a failure. I bought an external HDD so I can't see which way the drive was mounted. It was upside down and fails after 6 weeks, 2 TB of data lost... So for me, I would never buy a case with upside down mounted HDD. You really should think about this before you're going to produce something. Maybe you can add the drives to the side or top if there's not enough space below. [/QUOTE]
