The answer depends on what level you are talking about and what kind of computer you are talking about.
A standard PC running a Microsoft Windows OS is going to identify the physical drives by numbers, starting with "drive 0".
The physical drives can then be broken into virtual drives and assigned drive letters.
You will usually be using letters to work with the drives.
Bytes are the units that measure the capacity of the drive, so the bytes are not really used to identify the drive.
