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.
