I recently added a vantec hdd cooler/heatsink and the only way i could get it to fit was to flip the hdd upside down. Is this bad?

This was his question, and was properly answered by stating that he could mount it anyway he wished

no problem with a lil HD lovin

Be careful not to poke any WD's too hard, they're quite fragile.
 
it probably doesnt make that much of a difference, but if you mount a hd upside down, layers of dust might collect on the IC side. just something to take into consideration.
