Not "tray".  "target".  individual disks are generally one drive per 
target (so you see cXtYd0).  A raid controller may have  multiple 
logical units distinguished by the "d" number.

with WWN-based target names, the Y is in uppercase hex (to avoid any 
ambiguity when you hit the lowercase "d'); everything else is decimal.
