There's no requirement that if you have two disks, they have to be
RAIDed together. I frequently build systems with /dev/sda being a lone
SATA disk for the OS and apps, with /dev/sdb being a hardware RAID for
the real data the system manages. Another pattern I've used is a small
CF card for the core OS, and /usr, /home and other bulk users of storage
off on a second spinning disk.
A better test is probably "mount | grep md".
Then there's the LVM option, but I can't immediately come up with a
one-liner that tells you whether a given LVM disk set is equivalent to
software RAID.
And then we can get into more exotic options like btrfs and zfs which
are also potentially RAID-like, but not necessarily so.
