The Samsung website doesn't list a 'SM-308' under either current or discontinued drives. If you mean the SN-308 then, yes, you can mount it in a vertical position. This is shown under 'Drive mounting' here:

Information about other Samsung drives (both current and discontinued) is available by selecting the appropriate link, here:

A bit more searching has shown that the Samsung SM-308 does exist. It was probably never intended for release in the European market (which would explain why it doesn't appear on their European website).

The answer is still the same: Yes, you can use this drive in a vertical position.
