I was wondering what would happen if I remove and reconnect the SATA signal cable from one SATA connector to another ?

For example, moving the cable which was originally connected to port SATA6G_1, to SATA6G_6,  SATA6G_5, to SATA6G_2

Would Unraid get confused after the next power up ? or does Unraid track the disks with their serial number or so & the port or controller where the disks connect do not matter ?

Yes.

You should be OK unless you are using a RAID card. (it seems it is not your case)
