I understand each drive takes 1 SATA port, but how many do I need? In other words, what hardware connects to my motherboard via SATA connection? Will six(6) 6.0gb/s SATAs be enough?
 
Solution
Disk drives (Hard Disk/Solid State) and optical drives are the only devices to connect via the SATA ports. You probably won't need more than three, so six should be more than enough.
