Identify sata data motherboard connections

[UncleDewey]

I wish to add another internal hard drive.  The current hard drive and cd/dvd drive connect the signal cables to a dark & light blue connectors on the Motherboard.  There are simlar adjacent connectors one white and one orange.  Do these additional data connectors provide signals for another drive?  There is already another power cable that can be used on the second hard drive.

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.  Uncle Dewey

Hi:

Yes, they do.

The HP motherboard specs doesn't list the SATA ports available.

But the manufacturer that makes the motherboard does...next to the Storage spec.
