Six SATA ports, two of which are coming right off the board and four of which, all of these running off the chipset are coming out the side of the board. Now, the reason for that is that you can see the top PCI Express 16x connector would run exactly here. So, you can access these two, run them up to the top for like an optical drive or whatever else.
