How many hard drive can go in a desktop?
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.

Are the hard drives for laptops the same for Desktop computers?
Laptop hard drives are very similar to desktop hard drives, indeed they work in exactly the same way and even use the same interfaces. However laptop hard drives are designed to be much smaller (2 inches as opposed to 3.5) and draw less power than desktop hard drives. As a result laptop hard drives are usually much slower in terms of data transfer and have much smaller storage capacity than a desktop hard drive of the same year manufacture. With an adapter it is possible to use a laptop hard drive in a desktop computer, and if mounted externally it is also possible to use a desktop hard drive on a laptop.
