It's highly desirable to have drives with lights on them.  So you can
manually make the light blink (or stay on) just by reading the drive with
dd.

Even if you dig down and quantify precisely how the drives are numbered in
which order ... You would have to find labels printed on the system board or
other sata controllers, and trace the spaghetti of the sata cables, and if
you make any mistake along the way, you destroy your pool.  (Being dramatic,
but not necessarily unrealistic.)

Lights.  Good.
