    Hi, i have HP dv5 1215TX, i am using coolmaster's notepal S
    http://www.coolermaster.com/products/product.php?act=detail&id=3
    as you may see in the picture, the laptop when placed on this is not at 90Degress bout about 45 degree angle (or so depending on the height of cooler you set.
    I am concerned that will this cause any problem for my hitachi harddisk currently in use or the WD scorpio that i have ordered ,as they are mechanical drives, will working at such angle cause any damage to harddisk or data?

    i dont move my laptop much,even if its turned off, its just on my computer table, i actually bought it because of some power crisis.
    the concern is its constantly at a 45degree or so angle when running.so does this adversly affect the mechanical harddrive adversly?
