how manny SATA 6 Gb/s do I need on a motherboard?

Solution
If you want to connect up to 4 devices, then it is enough. There is no general rule. As long as you do not plan on any RAID setup or want to have 4 distinct SSDs (mechanical HDDs and optical drives do not benefit from 6Gb/s much), you are probably fine with 4.
