I have two hard drives installed in this DELL GX110 Optiplex computer. I

I'm using Debian, 'Sarge'...
The computer is incrediby fast... I'm thinking that could be because
it's a
DELL or because the drives are mirrored...
I would apppreciate any help that you can give me...

RAID5 requires 3 drives or more.
To check your disks type: fdisk -l as root.
Justin.
Actually, RAID5 requires 2 drives, but that does defeat most of the
reason for RAID5 in the 1st place.
I think that "cat /proc/mdstat" is a fast way to see if the box sees the
drives as RAID. If you have mdadm installed, it has a wealth of querys
- assuming that you do have some RAID items - and they may be whole
disks or partitions.
