Operating a disk drive on its side is generally pretty safe, although I
wouldn't want to do it for an extended period of time.  Set the drive so that
the eject button is on 'top', this way the spring on the disk will break
sooner than the mechanism in the drive that holds the shutter open.  Not that
either is likely, but better safe than sorry.  You could always put the drive
on top of something such as a monitor or another disk drive.
