HDD not working at 10 degree tilt, is it supposed to?

Question

Hard disks

It was necessary to connect one HDD (Seagate ST2000DX001) outside the case, so it started to squeak and refused to appear both in the system and in the BIOS. Then I put it strictly horizontally and it worked! Is it even possible?

Answer 1

Run back up

Answer 2

HDD likes to work either vertically or horizontally, everything else is extremely bad for him, since the plate spins very quickly there
