Q: How to know which drive is in which bay? (2009 Mac Pro)

I have three identical internal drives in my Mac Pro (System drive and 2 additional drives) and drive #2 died. I want to remove it but how will I know which bay this dead drive is sitting in as I don't want to remove the wrong drive?

I looked on Disk Utility and it shows as disk3s2 but couldn't see any Bay info?

Thanks

Look at System Profiler under SATA/SATA Express

It shows in Disk Utility, but only when you choose the most out-dented item, the physical drive. Shows in the bottom left corner.
