Do I only see 1 drive in fstab?

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
# / was on /dev/sdc1 during installation
UUID=d4adea1b-1b19-46cf-b43e-5d26e5529097 /               ext4
errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sdc5 during installation
UUID=f3bebfb5-f5de-4a59-af7c-ea4cb65863fd none            swap
sw              0       0

This is an external hard drive.  The internal failed.  There are two UUID's
there.
