I guess the only real problem would be the read/write arms inside a hardrive.
If a harddrive is on it's side the arms would be moving vertically instead of horizontally.
It stands to reason that this would make them work harder due to the force of gravity.
I suppose this subject is open for debate.
But, I'm sure that hardrive mfg take this into account when designing them due to the growing trend of external harddrive storage and the different vendors releasing enclosures that stand vertically as opposed to horizontally.
Outside of that, the differences may be nominal at best, making this a non-issue.

It will work fine.
Some cases have vertical mounting hard drives, and sometimes people put their tower cases sideways on a desk, and teh drivees run fine.
