This causes uneven forces on the motor which could break it prematurely." I am guessing you meant to have vertical position instead of horizontal? Or am I just confused. |
yea, I meant vertical, I typed horizontal twice on accident.
@dkr
I wasn't talking hard disc, I was talking CD/DVD/Blu-ray disc drive, and the XBox360 one is made like crap. Like I said, I read it somewhere and it makes sense to me that the forces on the motor are uneaven while in a verticle state. I don't know if it will break it in a shorter time frame, but if you are paranoid or it makes noise horizontal seems better.
Also, don't mock me, as I'm not an idiot, only reporting what I read.
