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.

Also, don't mock me, as I'm not an idiot, only reporting what I read.

ok..if you are a Computer Science PhD as stated in your profile, shouldn't you have passed some basic physics and electronics classes? Basic physics would have told you that what you read is nonsense, at least, as a scientist, it should have made you suspicious.. I'm just wondering, nothing else.

 

Yes, I took basic physics, 1 class 7 years ago. It sounds plausible to cause extra wear on a crappy drive, but not a OMG your going to break your system. I didn't pass it on as 100% fact and stated I didn't remember it exactly, just that I had read it, with no real proof to back it up.
