My Cloud Home drives keep swapping in Windows view

I have two My Cloud Home drives.

Drive A mapped as Drive Z
Drive B mapped as Drive Y

However, sometimes they flip-flop and remap themselves as

Drive A mapped as Drive Y
Drive B mapped as Drive Z

This messes with my Plex server sometimes. Was wondering if there was a way to fix that so it doesn’t flip at times.

Thanks for any help

Not really possible to know what is being described, perhaps the Plex community forum could help.

This usually does not happen with multiple MCHs if both units are not repeatedly powered off or disconnected physically from the network.

It messes with my Plex server because when the drives get swapped the Plex server is looking for movies on Drive Z when they got swapped to Drive Y.

I never power off the units or disconnect them.
