I'm looking for a motherboard with at least 3 SATA ports.
One will connect to a SSD with an OS, 2 will connect to SSDs
used for storage.

The SSDs will be Samsung's 840 Pro. I'd like to set a password
for each drive, and enter each drive's password when I turn the
computer on.

Are there any motherboards that support multiple password
protected drives? (TPM required, 1155 socket preferred)

Most motherboards of the 1155 socket range will have more than 3 sata ports unless its mini itx / micro atx etc. If you're going for a standard atx MB then you'll have plenty of sata connections

Hope this helps

Thanks. I know most motherboards allow users to set a HDD password (in BIOS).
But, is there usually a limit - could I set a password for multiple hard drives, or just one?
