don’t want to have two records for the same device vs don’t want to have two records for the same devices

Both phrases are almost correct, but the first one is more accurate. The correct phrase is "don’t want to have two records for the same device." The singular form "device" should be used because it refers to a single item. However, the second phrase could be used informally or in a specific context where multiple devices are being referred to collectively.
