Windows 10: Showing two D drives in Explorer

Have a brand new HP Win 10 Home, 64 bit. Has a SSD C drive, and a E Recovery drive. And a HDD called Data (D.
In the left hand of Explorer it shows

This PC
D:\
Desktop
Documents
Music
Pictures
Videos
Windows (C
DATA (D
RECOVERY (E

I've never had 2 hdd before this computer. So I put storage music, pics, docs on the D drive because it was 1tb. So why does it show 2 D drives now? They both appear to have exactly the same folders and info when you expand them on the left column.

What led me to this discovery was I had downloaded iTunes and it wouldn't "find" my iTunes Media folder to bring in my transferred music. There's actually 2 Media folders...one in each of the different D drives. One and the same folder?
