Horizontal vs Vertical HotSwap Bay Orientation?

With that model you don't have a choice, you'll have to mount your drives vertically.  The hot swap cage won't fit the other way (it is rectangular, not square, and the screw holes are only on two sides).

 

Generally speaking I don't see any real reason to choose one orientation over the other.  I could see that maybe vertical orientation could allow for better cooling, but as long as you have dedicated fans anyway it shouldn't matter.
