Assuming you have enough ports on your motherboard you can have as many hard drives as you want. Although, what's the point in the lower capacity ones? They're likely IDE and if they are, won't work with modern motherboards out of the box.

Given the sizes they may well be IDE

You should dump them and buy one fast drive

Why go through all the trouble. Those small hdds are obsolete. You'll fill them up in no time. You can get another 1TB hdd for $50.00 give or take.

Like a RAID setup? That would be a very bad idea. I wouldn't even bother with those extra drives. They're likely old and slow, not to mention it's only an extra 90GB.
