I bought a Lian Li PC-60 aluminum case, and at the bottom of the case is a removable tray that fits 4 hard drives. Drives put into this section have to be run sideways, and the benefit is that internally there are 2 adjustable speed fans blowing at them.
I have been running 2 Western Digital WD400BB drives in RAID-0 sideways in this tray with no problem. Then, I put in an IBM 60GXP into this tray. It runs fine...as long as I do not touch the case. If I even touch the case gently, the drive starts clicking and I have to restart. I moved the drive back to a standard 3.5 bay in the case, and there is no longer an issue.
From what I understand, HD's should have no problem running on their side. Does anyone think there is a problem with the drive, the problem more noticeable when run sideways?
Thanks,
Terry
