Can a computer recognize the difference between USB ports?

If I turn off my computer and switch which port a device is plugged into, will the computer get all huffy about it when I turn it back on?

Can a computer recognize the difference between USB ports?
In most cases it should be fine, if you turn the computer off it won't communicate with the device. If you put it back into a different drive then it will try finding the device, and see it's attached. However, if it's like an external hard drive you are running programs off of, example your drive I: or something, and you switch it, it might get assigned a different name and the computer doesn't always switch it's references, so I guess if you pay attention to that, you should be ok.
Reply:not usb. usb is plug and play you can swap it at anytime
