No. The drive names are not stable, they can change from version to
version as a result of kernel code changes. Do not use /dev/sd* in your
/etc/fstab, for example. Always use drive UUIDs instead. That also
ensures that a RAID array will assemble correctly regardless of which
SATA connectors you use.
