[SOLVED] Disk numbers keep changing?

[Bravepills]

Hi all.

I recently installed an SSD. When I went format the drive in Disk management I noticed the disk assignments:
Disk 0: C drive (M.2 nvme) (this is my boot drive).
Disk 1: D drive (HDD)
Disk 2: then this new drive. SSD

After formatting it became:

Disk 0: D drive
Disk 1: C drive
Dsik 2: SSD

Just checked it and now it's:

Disk 0: D drive
Disk 1: SSD
Disk 2: C drive

Why does this happen? Is it a problem? I have not changed any cables or anything. I did look in bios to check fan settings, but did not change anything.

Any advice?

Not sure about the timeline.

You formatted the SSD, saw the original Disk 0 assignment, and then reformatted again?

Correct?

Are you able to launch Powershell and run the Get-Disk command?

In the "Type here to search box" type Powershell, select Open.

At the blue screen prompt type "Get-Disk"

The results should be something like the following Copy and Paste:

Note: xxxxx is where I edited out the username.

PS C:\Users\xxxxx > Get-Disk

No, I only formatted once.

Noticed the disk assignment changes in Crystadisk as was just checking health of hard drives as I haven't in a long time

The original line up was when I was about to format, second one was after format, third was in Crystaldisk. PC had rebooted each time

It doesn't matter. You should not be worried about this.

Oh ok thanks.

Just seems odd.

No. When I opened disk management to format my new SSD was listed as disk 2.
The first change of disk assignment happened after the one and only time I formatted the SSD

No probs,

Just strange that AFTER that with no formatting or anything I looked at crystaldisk and the drives had all swapped places.

Frankly, if the system works, performs, etc....
