Well honestly, the guy DID do something pretty idiotic there. You aren't supposed to reorient disk drives while they are operating unless you have good reason to believe it won't hurt it. The PSP, for example, is designed with that in mind (those caddies help a lot).
Really though, I have no idea why "hey, it can be VERTICAL!" is considered such a good thing. Space saving? I suppose that when it's oriented that way it fits more easily into SOME setups, but seriously, that's not that big a deal. I'd never sacrifice a wide base for something so stupid.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
