If you list the devices explicitly, you're opening the possibility for
errors when the devices are re-ordered following insertion (or removal)
of any other SATA or SCSI (or USB storage) device

I think you want is a "DEVICE partitions" line accompanied by ARRAY
lines that have the UUID attribute you've already got in there.
