It depends on the type interface you would be using, IDE, SATA, SCSI (or a combination of these).
Generally, most motherboards use IDE (or UIDE), which has two IDE Ports each of which supports two drives (Master and Slave), be they hard disks, CD or DVD drives.
So the answer is four.
However, a type of motherboard known as "RAID" which is short for Redundant Array of Independent (or Inexpensive) Disks, can have double that number. These are used for servers, but can be used for personal computers although not normally necessary, as they do not function in quite the same as the conventional IDE arrangement.

How many hard drive can you connect on a motherboard with 4 sata and 1 ide controller?
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.
How many internal hard disk drive connectors on PC?
It depends on your motherboard. You'll need to refer to your motherboard specifications to find out how many (and of what type) hard disks you will be able to connect internally.
Can I have more than one hard drive?
Yes, you can have as many as your case and motherboard will support.
Why would it be a difficult to install four hard drives one CD-ROM drive and one DVDdrive in a single low-end system?
You should be able to as long as the motherboard will support that many hard drives.
Internal hard disk is what?
A device for permanent data storage. It consists of many non-magnetized disks which are hard.

How many hard drives are in a computer?
Usually one in a typical home PC. Power users may have more. Servers can have arrays of hundreds of disks
How many GB ram does an Intel Pentium 4 support?
Yes, depending on the motherboard. Most Pentium 4 chipsets support up to 4 GB of RAM, although the motherboard may not physically support enough RAM modules.
Can zip disks be used instead of hard disks?
Windows does not support booting from a Zip drive, but most Linux distributions do. While one could theoretically use one as a hard drive (for Linux), the low capacity (750 MB max) and relatively slow speed make it a rather unattractive option. Zip disks also have many known reliability problems, so it should not be trusted to store data for a long period of time.
How many number of tracks and sectors in hard disks?
30 000 Tracks Per Inch
How many disks can one hard drive hold?
Usually only one.
How many hard drives can Linux handle?
How many can you put in your computer? Linux can support massive servers with hundreds of hard drives. I believe the mainline kernel supports up to 702 hard drives, although patches are available for up to 3904 disks. You're far more likely to run into hardware limitations than you will with how Linux handles hard drives.
