I have a CDC Wren III drive in my mac and I have been assured by the
company I purchased it from (NuData) that any orientation is safe for
that drive. I must agree with them since my drive has been operating
perfectly for 14 months in the vertical position! As for voiding the
warranty, if your drive is more than 90 days old you probably don's have
a warranty anymore.
