# cat /proc/mdstat

I will guess (and it's only a guess!) that sda has no protection and
that sdb/sdc/sdd/sde are a Raid-5 set.   The guess is based on what I
would have expected people to do with 4 drives but depending on your
application and availability requirements, it could be a large stripe
set or a pair of mirror sets.  With a df display, my guess would have
been more educated.
