SCSI IDs are set by a hardware jumper setting on the drive itself. See the drive's manual for instructions on changing the ID. The devices I've seen usually have three jumpers in sequence that are the binary representation of the ID. Having the ID be 6 won't hurt anything; the important thing is that it doesn't use the same ID as something else. There's also something about boot order, but since you won't be disturbing it you have nothing to worry about.
