Number of SATA ports on a Pavilion Elite 9250t

[BrandonHorn]

How many internal SATA hard drives can be run in a Pavilion Elite 9250t?

I'm not worried about the power supply since one of the drives will be solid state. Does the machine have enough internal SATA ports to run 3 hard drives without disconnecting the optical drive?

Brandon,

These are the motherboard specifications.  Look in the lower right hand corner; two sata ports are vertical and two sata ports are horizontal.

Yes you could run three hard drives.  You could install the third drive using a 5.25 to 2.5 (3.5) bracket in the open optical bay.
