Original Quote from Mr. Henrique Atzkern, Senior Field Application Engineer at Seagate Technology LLC:
"Die Vorgaben für die Einbaulage wurde aus unseren Handbüchern bereits vor mehreren Jahren entfernt. Alle heutigen Festplatten sind in beliebiger Lage einsetzbar. Die Hersteller testen aber nur in den Grundeinbaulagen, d.h. mit dem Elektronikboard oben, unten und auf den beiden Seiten."

English Translation of the above original quote:
Restrictions concerning the direction to install a Hard Disk has been removed from our manual for years ago. All the actual Hard Disk can be installed in any directions as a user wishes. As a manufacturer, we are testing only the standard positions (PCB part facing the top or the bottom side) which seem to be the most commonly used positions by users.
