depends what kind of disk ;)
if you move the disk around, the device name assigned in that file
(usually eth0) is simply blocked, udev just assigns a different device
name (i.e. eth1) and moves on...

in desktop installs where network-manager cares and does not use any
device name specific settings for the network, moving the disk wont do
any harm, NM will just handle everything automatically with the new
device name ....

but if you have a server install ... with a fixed IP setup
in /etc/network/interfaces that is assigned to the device name, it will
break without manual fixing ....

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persisten.net.rules gives you a hint at the top of
the file how to re-generate it if you run into probs with the hardcoded
value though :)
