• The HP team is incorrect in their answer. There are 2 sata connections on the motherboard. The DVD uses one and there is one left unused that a sata hard drive (or a SSD drive with the correct adapter) can be added. If you look for the manual on HP's web site you will see how and where it can be added. The other option is if you want add third hard drive, disconnect the DVD drive and connect a sata HHD or an SSD drive with the correct adapter. A little imagination with computers gives you a lot of options. Here is the motherboard specifications. https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c05382582

• There is not an additional SATA port on this desktop. These are expansion slots on this desktop. It has 1-PCIe x16 slot for graphic cards and 2-M.2 slots for storage.
