Yes, that's the normal location for the disk icon(s). They start at the top with the startup drive. Other drives mount below it.


If you don't want drive icons to appear then open Finder preferences, click on the General icon in the toolbar. Uncheck the boxes for items you don't want displayed on the Desktop. Then click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar and similarly check/uncheck items you want displayed in the sidebar.
