Why does disk utility list two internal drives?

I have an Early 2015 MacBook Pro. Under Disk Utility there are two drives listed under Internal: "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD - Data".

Is that normal?

You have a Fusion Drive and one is the HDD and the other the SSD.

Disk Utility Shows Two Internal Hard Drives I recently upgraded to Catalina. When checking in Disk Utiliy, it show two hard drives. One called: Macintosh HD; and one called: Macintosh HD - Data. I've read elsewhere that this means that I might be using a beta version, but this is not the case. I've never installed any beta, prototype anything on my MacBook Pro.

I have one extra disk drive named Untitled - Data In disk utility it shows 3 hard drives, 2 of them being USER (hard drive) and USER (hard drive) - Data which I know it's normal. The problem is that I have a third one named Untitled - Data which uses only 979 KGB. I'm not sure what it does and if it is ok to erase it. I will attach a screenshot of disk utility. I am running MacOS Big Sur 11.6 on a Macbook Air M1.
