If your motherboard does have SATA plugs available, then yes, you can add a SATA hard drive with those 4 IDE devices.

As many as you have SATA connectors left.

Yes you can if you have any open SATA connectors on your motherboard

Otherwise if you need more, you can buy a PCI SATA150 or SATA300 card to take 2, 4 or 6 extra SATA hard drives...

More like whether the power supply can handle it.
