GA-X58A-UD3R and HDs

[wavesequence]

This is a noob question... I'm sorry

How many SATA HDs can be installed onto a GA-X58A-UD3R motherboard?

Thanks
Michael

10 sata ports -1 for CD/DVD-ROM, so you can plug 9 HDDs...

I wouldn't use the SATA 3 ports, so 7.

THANKS guys

I bought a DVD RW and 4 HDs and I thought that one HD was exceeding...
Perhaps, I mistook GA-X58-UD3R with G31M-ES2L.

Please accept my sincerest best wishes for this coming Cristmas.

p.s. pray for me on Dec. 27, I'm going to assemble my build and... install OSX from a retail OSX DVD and iBoot+MultiBeast

7 SATA ports are enough for me: 5 HDs and 2 DVD RW are OK. Actually are 4 HDs and 1 DVD RW
