What is the easiest way to find out which letters have been assigned to which drives by the system?

Go into Task Manager, and check each drive. It should say the manufacturer and model on top of the activity graph:

I just completed a new build, using MSI Meg x570 Unify.  I have three M.2 storage drives populating slots on the motherboard.  I have one 2.5in SSD occupying a slot in my case.

 

What is the easiest way to find out which letters have been assigned to which drives by the system?

 

Thanks!

Are the drives all the same size? Otherwise, you should be able to quickly see which drive is which by how large it is. If you open a disk's properties, the Hardware tab may also give you a hint.

Remember to either quote or @mention others, so they are notified of your reply

English is not my first language, so please excuse any confusion or misunderstandings on my end.

I like to edit my posts a lot.
