The ami controller hides the two drives and makes one logical drive.

Boot the machine into the bios, unconfigure the mirror. You'll se two

You are not wrting to a particular hard disk. You are writing to the
logical drive sd0, which consists of two physical disks, which are
hidden by the ami card.
