SensorPanel Drive Temperature Bug (15 SSD drives)

[Poiman64]

My Sensor panel has 15 SSD Drive temperatures however the sensor panel keeps forgetting the set devices and chooses new drives at random.

Do you have any external drives among the 15 SSD drives you've got?  (BTW, wow, 15 drives! amazing setup)

Hi Fiery, No there are no external drives and all drives retain their correct drive letters

I added an additional drive today and again all the sensor panel drive temperatures were randomised

I renamed all the drives in device manager so they didn't all have the same name just to see if that helped, I'm afraid the bug remains.

I've had no response from a raised ticket since April, is it worth raising another?

Let's handle this issue here, no need to use 2 different support channels.

As for the bug, it's not actually a bug.  There's no way to sort the available disk drives in a way to recognize which one is added the last to the list.  So there's no way to sort them in "arrival order" so to speak.  Windows itself manages disk drives in a very peculiar manner, and quite frankly we cannot understand the logic behind the ordering of drives by Windows.  For example, when you have a single M.2 NVMe drive (Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB) installed as a system drive, here's how Windows 11 24H2 indicates the steps of adding more and more SATA SSD drives to the system:

1) When connecting a new single SATA drive to SATA connector P1, the list of drives as managed by Windows (no special ordering like alphabetical sorting):

• KINGSTON SV300S37A120G
• Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB

2) When connecting another new single SATA drive, this time to SATA connector P3:

• Corsair Force LS SSD
• KINGSTON SV300S37A120G
• Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB

3) When connecting another new single SATA drive, this time to SATA connector P2:

• Corsair Force LS SSD
• KINGSTON SV300S37A120G
• Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB
• INTEL SSDSC2BB120G4

4) When connecting the 4th new single SATA drive, this time to SATA connector P4:

• INTEL SSDSC2BB120G4
• Corsair Force LS SSD
• KINGSTON SV300S37A120G
• Samsung SSD 980 PRO 1TB
• SanDisk SSD U110 128GB

And since AIDA64 manages connected disk drives based on Windows drive ordering, everytime we connected a new SATA drive to this particular test system the SensorPanel layout had to be adjusted to fit the new drives order.  It's a pain in the butt, but so far we couldn't figure out a way to mitigate this issue.  Apart from putting external (e.g. USB) drives to the end of the list so at least connecting/disconnecting an external drive wouldn't mess up the order of internal drives.
