I would be more than happy to offer such hints, if I knew them. Ideas about this are welcome.

At least two commands will dump the disk information which includes
the serial number of the disk.  The serial number also printed on the
physical disk means that you will know electronically which physical
disk is which.

   # hdparm -I /dev/sda

   # smartctl -i /dev/sda

Having the disk information, model name, and serial number in hand I
can be assured which disk is which disk.  Both of the above commands
provide this information.
It seemed like such good information that I saved it :)
