How many SATA connections does the board have? null

There are 3 ports. Two are used by the hard drive and the DVD drive, leaving 1 empty. Be aware there isn't a power connection included. There appears to be room for a 4-pin cable on the mother board, but I couldn't find it, so I purchased a SATA data cable and a SATA power splitter, 1 female to 2 male. I added an SSD, set it up as the primary drive, and am very happy with the result. I use the HDD for my library of movies/music/etc.
