I'm using an external hard drive in an aluminium external enclosure through
fire wire cable.
I noticed the enclosure becomes rather warm after some time, so to give it
better cooling I have it placed at 90 degrees.
But I was wondering, are hard drives allowed to function mecanically at 90
degrees?

As far as I know modern hard drives are designed to function in any
spatial orientation. Just beware of shock; don't ever let it fall over
while power is on.
