I have two SSD drives that are both sda:

# cat /sys/class/block/sda/device/model
Samsung SSD 850

The wwn drive is a PNY XLR8 240GB SSD. Is there any way I can make it
sdc? I would like to image the PNY drive and try to recover the data
off of it.

The machine seems to be functioning OK off of the Samsung 850 system
drive; I just brought it back up yesterday with the Samsung SSD after
the PNY drive started giving errors.

# uname -a
Linux dev.rm 3.16-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.3-2 (2014-09-20) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Both SSD drives are configured so part1 is EXT4, part2 is swap, and
part3 is ZFS.

I'm not on the mailing list so please CC any responses / further
questions to my email.

Thanks in advance for any help.
