Setting Up The Drive; Choosing An Orientation (Vertical Or Horizontal) - Toshiba PX1267E-1G32 User Manual

Setting up the Drive

Place the Drive on a sturdy, flat surface. Do not place the Drive on
an unstable or makeshift base, such as a stack of books, that may
be prone to collapse or toppling.

Choosing an orientation (vertical or horizontal)

Your Toshiba 3.5" External Hard Drive can be placed on your
desktop in either the vertical or horizontal position. If you do not
plan to stack on additional Toshiba 3.5" Drives, we recommend
the vertical position, as this orientation takes up the minimum
amount of desktop space. Also, the PushButton
will be higher up, so there is less chance it will get
obstructed by other items on your desk.
