Depends on the motherboard. Some have 4, 5, 6 or 7.
That depends on chipset. For instance Intel X58 can support up 4 ports natively + 2 for marvell controller. Server motherboards have more SATA ports available. Newer generation motherboards can support 6 and more SATA port natively.
You can connect up to 4 SATA hard drives using onboard SATA ports.
The easiest way, is to purchase a SATA PCI card. Install this card inside the pc, and it will allow x amount of extra sata devices, depending on how many the card will support. Hope this helps
There are sixty-five thousand five-hundred and thirty-five port in the world.
Generally speaking, only one. However, there are some devices, known as "port multipliers" that will allow you to connect up to 15 devices to a single channel.

It depends on a motherboard. You can have 2 of them or all 6 of them Maybe there are motherboards with more than 6 ports but they are expensive. I need the location of SATA connections fopr a Dimension 4300 motherboard; hopely with a location graphic.
Ports are like doors to a computer each computer has many ports. Without any open ports your computer wouldn't be able to access the internet, to find open ports you can try a portscan
The number of ports on a computer depends on the type of computer it is. The type of ports they have--for example USB, headphone, or HDMI--also varies greatly from computer to computer.
There is no requirement for the number of Ethernet ports on a computer. There can be 0, 1, or even 1,000 Ethernet ports.
The number of hard drives that can go in a desktop is more limited by the space you have within your computer's case and the number of ports on your motherboard rather than operating system limitations. I have heard that you can have up to 24 drives in Windows including internal and external drives. Right now, I have 5 drives attached to my desktop. To determine how many drives you can have in your desktop you should count up the number of SATA or IDE ports on your motherboard and count up the spaces in your computer case. Also, consider using external hard drives to increase your storage capacity.
To the IDE cable, 2 Hard disks can be connected as Master and Slave.(Hard disks that support IDE). 4 SATA ports could be used for 4 Hard Disks.
