Hummm.....  Now I find this "strange".  

I had done a "Net" install on this system and it fully updated at install time.  As such I had never rebooted.    I decided I wanted to plug in a drive to do some "testing".

On reboot, the SD card reader became sdc and the sdd device is gone.

So, I hope you can see your way clear to understand the confusion.
