Actually I figured out I could safely remove and reattach one of the drives. I can confirm the Smartware device is hidden with the code I used. I came across http://tolecnal.net/2007/04/writing-udev-rules/ in which the person had issues using ID_SERIAL for identification. I'm wondering if there was a bug with ID_* matching that has somehow resurfaced.
