Does vertical position affect hard drive?

This may be a silly question, but I have an external HDD which has a platform to keep it vertically.

My question is, does it make any problem to have it like that? Regarding the internal operation of the it I mean.

Both alignments are "standard", i.e. hard drives are constructed to work fine either way.

Personal Opinion: I haven't had problems with a number of "unusual" alignments either; I believe the only important thing is to keep the drive cool and stationary while in operation.
