Re: "Any ideas as to what caused it?"
Not really, though I'm wondering if something like OneDrive, a configuration for disk mirroring, a cloud drive (Google Drive), etc., account for it. Does the BIOS say you have an extra drive? Or is it only happening after you boot Windows? The latter would suggest that it is along the lines of one of the aforementioned speculations.

Hard Drive Interesting Phenomenon

Hey De, or Micro,
I was stripping out unloved computers . . . and ammassed a
small pile of hard drives which I have been testing and
setting aside for use as spares, or so I can put double
drives in various computers.

One of them . . . When I installed it to test it Explorer
said it was two drives. Thinking 'two partitions' I went
to the Computer -> Manage -> Drives. Where it said I
had three physical drives inside the chassis. Trust me,
there were only TWO drives in there.

So, after conferring with Mr. Internet, I went to
'DiskPart' . . . Which also told me there was THREE
drives in there.

Any ideas as to what caused it?
And maybe how I can make it go away?
(And make it all ONE drive again.)

Zim.
