Are swapped in hot-swap drives allocated the same Windows drive letter each time?

We are intending on purchasing a dedicated machine to perform the company's backups. We were considering buying the Dell T310, with the theory that we could swap the drives in and out for offsite backup. (As in, take out a drive, put a version a couple of days' old in its place, the old backup is updated to the current version.)

One thing that may stymie this, though, is the system changing drive letters as things get moved in and out.

Does anyone know whether this happens?
