Way back in the early days of computers, some hard drives did have this problem, but that is not an issue now.

If the command + option doesn't work, quit out of system prefs and relaunch it. :) It's an amazing trick that I'm going to utilize in a classroom assignment next week.

I've used my MacBook Pro as a desktop with a HengeDock for a long time and have no trouble. And everywhere you go, you see desktop boxes that are on their side on the floor to save space.
