Each cable is designed to support exactly one drive.
SATA, or Serial ATA cables don't really use pins, they're more a slide contact but they are still referred to as pins. There are also 2 types of SATA cables, one for the Power and one for the Data. The data cable is a 7 pin and the power is 15 pin. Here's a URL to a site that shows the SATA power pinout. See related link for more information.
Differences between PATA and SATA hardrive are most visible in regards to the cables. A PATA hard drive has what is called a ribbon cable which is kind of big compared to the small SATA cable. The PATA ribbon cable has 40 pins that connect to the hard drive and/or motherboard whereas the SATA cable only has 7 pins allowing for the computer as a whole to be much cooler due to more empty space inside it for air to flow more freely. Also, I believe that the SATA drives are faster than IDE or PATA, especially if it is a SATA III which can transfer at speeds up to 6 gbs/per second.

How many pins are there in 4 quarts
It wouldn't be a SATA motherboard if you couldn't connect SATA drives to it.
