You would seriously want to go through all the security updates that
came out after 2009-09-02 and assess the vulnerability of your CentOS
5.4 system:

I don't think the OP asked how secure, or in-secure, his system is. So please try and keep on-topic?

@Cal, 

You could assign a LABEL to each hard drive. The LABEL is attached to the drive's UID (I think?) so even if you move the drive to anther port it will still be accessible via the same LABEL

Look here: http://lissot.net/partition/ext2fs/labels.html
