Interesting that the WD Support (Case 090417-12289807) says exactly the opposite:

I would like to inform you that changing the orientation will not affect the lifespan of the hard drive. However, we do not recommend to change the orientation of the hard drive after hours of use of the hard drive.

What is true?
