As far as angle, at any version of 180, 360, or 90 you should be fine (i.e. flat or on a side). Other angles *could* be an issue, but with the 2.5" drive you are *probably* ok.

As far as heat, make sure it has air flow. My space did not and I have since had to add vents and fans to help with the summer heat (not that it was a big deal or anything). In my case, the Minis fans were kicking on full blast and staying that way for my 10 - 20 minute commute in the evenings. As long as it is running long enough that the fans slow back down, you are probably ok. If, like me, there is not enough time for the Mini to cool itself off then you probably have an issue.
