It looks like C should be placed on disk 0. It seems it's currently out of order. Please let me know if you need assistance with this arrangement.
Well, the final decision lies with the motherboard and its controller for your drive. The drive letter is a Windows idea (and DOS too), which explains why it begins at C:\ rather than A:, but in truth, identification methods vary. On Linux-based systems, browsing drives or folders can be quite challenging, especially if you rely on the command line instead of the graphical interface. This approach has its drawbacks—it disconnects you from the actual hardware—and you might face issues like missing letters or changing labels when moving drives between setups.
The Linux approach simplifies things by treating everything as a file. The physical disk /dev/disk0s1 appears in folders under /media/*LABEL* managed by the file manager, similar to how Windows organizes volumes. If labels aren't used, it functions like a folder on the left sidebar alongside desktop and File Systems. This setup reflects the actual physical order of SATA devices. To rearrange them, swap the SATA data cable for Disk 0 with Disk 2.
