Product: HP 280 G1 MT
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I have a HP 280G1 micro tower PC with the factory power supply and motherboard. The motherboard has 3 SATA ports. 1 light Blue, 1 Dark blue and 1 White. It already has 2 HDDs and the white sata port is not connected to anything. The power supply has 3 sata connectors. 2 are used, 1 is not. So i was wondering if I could connect one more HDD to the white SATA port or would it not work. The motherboard is a prodesk 280 M1 board with part number 782450-001 I believe. So how many harddrives can I connect to it.
