Tower Plus EBT2250, how many SATA drives?
According to the owner's manual, the motherboard has three SATA slots, but under the storage specifications, it lists support for two 3.5-inch drives and two 2.5-inch drives.
So, does it support three or four SATA drives?

I realize I am late to this thread, but the 2250 I recently purchased has a slimSATA there already to hook up ,and the third sata socket is still open. It has no optical drive installed. Store guy said I could find an adapter from slimSATA to SATA. Still looking for that !

If the board has three SATA slots, then maximum of three SATA connection could be supported.
Here is another description of tower plus ebt2250 storage specs stating up to two hard disk drives.

Yes, I also have wondered why they put 3 SATA data CABLE connections on the motherboard with only two cages for HDD drives.

I guess the third SATA could be used for an ODD, if there’s any place to install it.
