The usual four, on a standard board.

Unless your using RAID, then it depends...

Some newer motherboards also allow you to add at least two more Serial-ATA drives in addition to the 4 standard ATA. These also appear as standard IDE devices (/dev/hde etc).

redhat should support 26 drives, after that you run out of letters (hda...hdz).
Of course you still need to have the IDE controllers to support it.
