How may SATA per channel?

Can anyone tell me how many SATA hard drives I can connet
to each channel. Some people told me only one SATA drive
can be connected to each channel on the motherboard, but
others say up to eight drives. What's the real number?
Thanks

Read the User's Guide for your specific model motherboard.

HI Carey
Does this mean then, the number of SATA drives per
channel is dependent on the type of motherboard?
