Will this drive work in a vertical configuration?

as long as all the hook ups are correct on it and you know what you're doing

Most newer dvd drives are made to work horizonally or vertically. I wasn't sure about this one but just for you I laid my computer on its side and it read a dvd just fine.

Yes it can. These drives are designed for longer run times. But will work fine in desktop

There is no reason it should not. No special drivers are needed to use this as storage, so as long as your drive fits, it works.

Yes. The little lock keeps it from opening and I store mine vertical with no problems.

Yes. That is how I use it. It has two gates, one for vertical and one for horizontal.

I'm not sure,, I have never tried it this way. The log will probably not stay flat as the ram advances... Also the unit has feet for it's horizontal position, but no real feet for vertical position.

yes it will, but afterwards you will have to extend the partition if you want to use the full drive.

Pretty sure it does not but you can just screw it in on one side if you want. No moving parts so wont hurt the drive.

"Vertical" and "horizontal" are somewhat arbitrary here. It opens up along the longer side, so you'd insert the laptop front or back first, not side first. Hope that helps.

Yes. You may be required to exchange connections on the back of the drive, and swap faces on the front.

Yes. It's a 2.5" 7mm height drive. Most are 9.5mm high but the shorter height should cause no problems. There are 2mm spacers in the event there's some mounting issue.

You can, but you need to buy and 2.5"-3.5" adapter. Such a drive can then make use of the bottom bay, which is otherwise too thin to hold a regular 3.5" drive. My system mounts a 2.5" drive in this manner.

The machine would work fine vertically. You will need to be careful as it is not as stable as positioned horizontally.

I'd say I need a little more info from you, but I'll give it a shot. If you have 2 hard disks seated in the drive bays and the unit is already on when you plug it in, I would say it could arch. Hard disks use a tremendous amount of power and it wouldn't surprise me if it arched under those circumstances. However, if the unit was empty and off when you plugged it in, and it arched under those circumstances, then I would exchange it.

Yes I believe it will indeed work. Its a matter of finding the right location for those skinny pin-like appendages. Be aware of the partition format of the drive and the operating system. If formats are compatible and this thing doesn't work you might have a dead drive (Very costly to recover). Cheers

I have it mounted horizontally, can't remember if it could be turned vertically.

My first inclination is that it would not. The main reason is that you have to have a clearance for the crank to go around so the desk goes up and down. In your scenario, (V-Shaped desktop) it would be difficult to set it up so that the crank has enough clearance to go around.
