If you are using md then the easiest way to manage your array is to
use the "DEVICE partitions" directive in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
(which tells mdadm to search all known drives) and then refer to
the components by UUID instead of by device name, as in:
MAILADDR root
DEVICE partitions
ARRAY /dev/md1 uuid=e908352e:ae7b4c20:3eba5825:cd53aa6b
With this arrangement I can put any drive on any cable and
completely ignore the device name changes.

Yes, it does.
