One. Using a port multiplier, you can connect many devices with SATA cables to a single SATA port but you would still be connecting just one device. Port multipliers aren't required because there's a limit on the bandwidth available for the devices.

How to connect two hard drives and a dvdcdrw?

Check the motherboard. You can connect two drives to a single parallel cable. Most traditional motherboards have two IDE sockets and you can run a maximum of four drives. (one cable per socket, two drives per cable) but you need to configure the drives with jumpers as "primary" and "slave". Many of the newer motherboards have a "SATA" (Serial ATA) socket or some combination of SATA and IDE but you'd have to use a SATA drive with a SATA cable to use the SATA socket.
