Phantom drive

So I just built a new server so I can move my files from old unit that is dying.
Dell Precision 5820 Tower
But I installed everything on a M2 and when I log in there is a phantom drive.

name- sdc, Serial 28203008282014000, Disk Size 0 B, Disk Type SSD, Model SD_MMC_CRW

But when I open it there is only 1 drive my m2 for boot. I tore it apart and can not find any other drives.
Would anyone have any ideas why it is doing that?

Can you post the specifics on your hardware setup? Model numbers of the devices.

Sure.

I have installed 2 Seagate EXOS 8tb to start my file drives.

But there is physically only the 3 drives. the top one from the pic I have Zero clue where it is

You can try running lsblk -bo NAME,LABEL,MAJ:MIN,TRAN,ROTA,ZONED,VENDOR,MODEL,SERIAL,PARTUUID,START,SIZE,PARTTYPENAME and seeing what it reports. Does your system have a MMC onboard for booting. the Model is a clue, it may

Yes, I have to agree with @SmallBarky, this does appear to be an embedded SD/MMC boot device. With it being “Disk Size 0 B”, I would guess it is not populated.

For practical purposes, you can probably just ignore it. But, if you are interested, you can see if their is a SD-Card slot, or a MMC header on the system board.

Note that some computers have optional features, and yours might not have the slot or header installed. Yet the device controller would still be present because it was listed by the software.

So this is what I get when I run that command. Which thank you for that. I need to brush up on my shell commands.

So I assume it is something in USB slot. I will look again or track it down in bios maybe. Or like someone suggested just ignore it But thank you for the help.
