HDD stands for Hard Disk Drive which is what your computer stores information on.

SATA is a type of connection that powers and transmits data inside of your computer. It works in the same fashion that the older IDE/PATA standard did.

You can only have 1 Sata HDD per Sata connector, however on IDE you can have 2 IDE, 1 set to master the other to Slave or if supported both set to CSS (Cable Select). So you can have 4 Sata HDD and 2 IDE HDD per IDE channel. One thing you need to be aware of is your Power Supply. Make sure it is capable of handling such a load or you will get write errors on the Drives. Hope that helps.
