Product: HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop 690-00xx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

First question:

 

What are PCI slots and can I plug extra hard drives in them?

 

Second question:

 

What is the max hard drives can I install in my desktop computer? I was doing research last night and I saw the picture of my motherboard and only showed 2 SATA slots.

 

The goal is to insert two additional hard drives: I have a 1TB and 3TB. Would it be possible?
