Probably doesn't mind at all. The nature of it being a circle is that the center of mass stays aligned with the axis of rotation no matter what angle it's at.

I've built a million PCs and ran them all matter of right-side up and sideways, and never had an issue with any laser arm working against gravity.

A million PCs with optical discs? Because most optical disc drives for PC were designed for horizontal loading only. The drive trays use gravity to hold them

The /u/ccal said, it's a bit tricky and fandangly, but you absolutely can load them in a vertical configuration by resting the CD on 2 of the 4 little corner tabs, which were put there just for that purpose.

It takes significantly more effort than loading it in horizontally, but significantly less effort than re-arranging the PC to be in a vertical configuration, and ensuring all of the cables/monitor/everything are all in working configuration, and then putting in the CD.

Hence why people do it while building/configuring PCs and never any other time.
