HP Pavilion p6-2375ea Desktop PC
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I would like a graphical image of my motherboard (for my own peace of mind) and need to know what is the maximum number of Hard Drives I can add to my PC. I already have two (which includes the factory fitted drive) but would like to fit a third if it's possible. My OS is Windows 10 (upgraded from Windows 7)

Below is a link to an eBay listing for the Jasmine ms7778 motherboard your PC comes with.

 

For HP Jasmine MS-7778 Ver:1.0 Motherboard FM2 716188-001 696333-001 | eBay

 

The bottom right corner of the picture shows a total of 4 SATA ports.

 

If you have two hard drives connected and a DVD drive plugged into one, that would leave you with one free.

Hi Paul,
Checked it yesterday, you were spot on, that is my motherboard and the yellow socket is vacant.
Once again - thank you.
