These are the Get-PhysicalDisk options for identifying the disk you want

-UniqueId <string>

-ObjectId <string>

-FriendlyName <string>

-InputObject <CimInstance#MSFT_PhysicalDisk>

-StorageSubsystem <CimInstance#MSFT_StorageSubsystem>

-StorageEnclosure <CimInstance#MSFT_StorageEnclosure>

-StorageNode <CimInstance#MSFT_StorageNode>

-StoragePool <CimInstance#MSFT_StoragePool>

When dealing with disks installed in the machine then the friendly names is the easiest to use
