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
Yes, that's why you assign a LABEL to the device :) If the same hard drive gets used on the same server, but on random ports every time then the LABEL will still stay the same. I have a similar setup where I mount about 40-odd USB drives to a server on a regular basis. They each have their own mount points in /mnt/usb-hdd/xxxxxxxxxx and irrespective of which drive I connect to which USB port, or on which order, they all get mounted where they're supposed to :)
