[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1375715, member: 24098"] Exactly. This is particularly true of desktop drives. Laptop drives and the micro drives in iPods are designed to be moved around and exposed to extreme angles and g-forces. Desktop drives on the other hand tend to be designed for more stable use. I'd recommend fashioning some kind of a stand if you intend to use it this way to avoid the inevitable tipping that can happen. [/QUOTE]
