No?
Are not SATA drives /dev/sd<x> - just like SCSI and USB?
Is not SATA hot-pluggable?
Even without SATA, I recently had three spinning devices inside USB2
enclosures attached to my laptop. Order of attachment (more accurately,
detection) is important.
That is a problem the use of filesystem labels can help with, but it's
far less likely to be beneficial with optical media.
