Use the UUIDs of the drives in the entries in /etc/fstab rather than the device names.

i have tried to use the UUIDs name but dont understand how too enter the information in fstab to get it right

1. Get the UUID for each USB drive. For example,

blkid /dev/sbd1

On my VortexBox, this returns

/dev/sdb1: UUID="725A66165AF23401" TYPE="ntfs"

2. Change the /etc/fstab entry from

/dev/sdb1 /storage/music/flac ntfs defaults 0 0

to

UUID="725A66165AF23401" /storage/music/flac ntfs defaults 0 0

Use the UUID returned by the blkid command on your system, as well as the mount point you want.

Do this for both USB drives.
