That is just the way it is supposed to be, and hard drives are a lot more
hardy than you think. I took hard drives (350 MB and 1.2 GB) out of docks
and used them in desktops. They didn't mind at all doing a 180 degree
flip. Also, I frequently put an external hard drive on edge to save space,
with no problems.
