Adding a new HDD always breaks my Ubuntu Server 16.10 [on hold]

I have a custom desktop tower running Ubuntu server 16.10 with multiple HDDs installed.
They are all confinigured and mounted using fstab.
My fstab file looks like this:
/dev/sdb1 /media/seagate1bHdd ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/sdc1 /media/wd3TbHdd ext4 defaults 0 2
/dev/sdd /media/wd3TbHddNtfs ntfs defaults 0 2
When I add a new HDD, the location of my HDDs ie /dev/xxx changes again.
How can I prevent this from happening everytime I install a new HDD to my server?
It's a pain to having to edit the fstab again!

ahh so if use the uuid to setup my fstab that would do the trick? Does the UUID stay the same?

The UUID stays the same. It only changes if you reformat the drive.
