I am planning to buy this used computer(HP Compaq dc5000) for 20$ for free nas.And I have 2x1tb Wd Black drives and one Seagate 500gb drive.I want to add these drives to a computer that has only a 40gb Seagate drive.How many drives can I add(I need to know how many sata ports are there on this computer's motherboard).

Thanks in advance.

If drives that also a extra ones but I would say about you could fit 1 more in there if its the flat one that comes up when you google it or this Pic than you can unplug the floppy disk drives and the dvd drives thats 2 and they may be flying around in there but I would say its worth it. I plan on doing some thing similar with a Dell t5400. Any ways best of luck to you.

Open it up and have a look I guess.
Normally if the PC is small form factor then it's probably only two, but desktops generally have up to six. Remember you can remove the DVD drive and use that SATA cable for a hard drive, too.
