You can certainly connect but see how many of them are SATA 6GBPS and how many are SATA 3GBPS. Connect the HDD's to SATA 6GBPS and DVD-RW to SATA 3GBPS.OK.

thanks for the quick reply i was confused as friend said that it has got 2 ports for SSD (frankly i have never used an SSD so no idea regarding it)

A quick question as its my friend's PC and he is upgrading so now i have an option of shifting from AMD to Intel so which combo is better

My PC - FX-8120 and Asus M5A97 R2.0
Friend PC- i5-3470 and gigabyte-ga-b75m-d3h

What is the PC's primary usage and budget? AMD combo will require a discreet graphic card as it does not have an IGP.

i have a backup card (gt 520) but will have a gpu for sure (going to buy 270x or 7950/equivalent card very soon)

This is all in one PC so gaming, movies , apps , sometime ripping(occasional). I am not the one who get offended if a PC takes nano sec. more to do some task so i am fine with it but gaming is primary @1080p which takes load on gpu and not much on cpu

@ rijinpk1 Please upload the pic somewhere

The Intel config is certainly cheaper and offers slightly better gaming performance.
