If you want to avoid vibration and the disk being scratched, lay it horizontally. Like I said, this also removed the problem of the draw not opening - mine hasn't done it once in two months now. When I used to have it vertical, it was happening at least a quarter of the times I was trying to eject the tray. Also, As Des says, it also seems to make it quieter too. I suspect because, when vertical, the drive is at the top as far away from the surface as possible and therefore more prone to vibration.
