... or you can use external USB drives if you need even more. (The computer I'm typing this on has 6 hard drives => 4 in the case; 2 outside the case)
You have 2 IDE connections; so you can have 4 IDE devices; and you have 4 SATA connectors, so you can also have 4 SATA devices.
I assume your optical drives are connected to one of the IDE channels. If this is correct, you can connect up to SIX hard drives -- 2 IDE drives, and 4 SATA drives.
