Many motherboards that have more than two SATA connectors put two

Usually, the 'something else' shows as a SCSI controller in Linux.
How many
SATA connectors are there?
The User guide says they are 5 connectors, but I can only see 4.
Three of them are very close to each other, and the fourth one is a
little further away. Wouldn't you know it, my boot drive is
connected to the one that is by itself. Maybe if it had been
connected to one of the other three, it would have been /dev/sda (or /
dev/sdb).
Like I mentioned in my previous post, I have two hard disks and two
optical drives. Here are the device names:
# ls -l /dev/[cdhs][vd]*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Aug 20 12:24 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Aug 20 12:24 /dev/cdrom1 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Aug 20 12:24 /dev/cdwriter -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Aug 20 12:24 /dev/dvd -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Aug 20 12:24 /dev/dvd1 -> scd0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Aug 20 12:24 /dev/dvdwriter -> scd0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 0 Aug 20 12:23 /dev/hda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 1 Aug 20 12:23 /dev/hda1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 2 Aug 20 12:23 /dev/hda2
brw------- 1 root disk 22, 0 Aug 20 12:23 /dev/hdc
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 0 Aug 20 12:23 /dev/sda
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 1 Aug 20 12:23 /dev/sda1
It is strange indeed.
