SCSI device numbering (or lettering) is usually assigned in increasing order based on the SCSI ID. If you have one hard disk with a SCSI ID of 2 and another hard disk with a SCSI ID of 4, they will be assigned to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb, respectively. The real danger is if you add a third SCSI drive and give it an ID of 0, 1, or 3.

This new disk will  become /dev/sda (for an ID of 0 or 1) or /dev/sdb (for ID 3), bumping up one or both of the existing disks’ Linux device identifiers. For this reason, it’s usually best to give hard disks the lowest possible SCSI IDs so that you can add future disks using higher IDs.
