external hard drive

When I plug my external hard drive into my Mac in the morning it never goes to where I want it on the desktop, it loads at the bottom of the screen then I put it on the top of my desktop and next day it goes back to the bottom when plugging it in gain. Any fix for this? My drive is a LaCie Backup Drive bought at Apple Store, and it's 500mb. This never happened until I update to Sonoma all other update stayed where I wanted it.

iMac 24″, macOS 14.0

The grid is not visible, but it's there nonetheless.


Also, since you appear to use the external disk every day, why do you unplug it every day? It may be that if you leave it connected and it's 'on & available' at the time your Mac boots, your disk icon may remain in place.


That's what I do. I have 3 external disks attached to my Mac. They are connected all the time. Once I placed their icons in the upper right corner of the screen (my preferred location) they have never moved.
