Modern mainboards have SATA controllers and old IDE controllers.
Can you connect a total of 6 drives to the mainboard,
and have them all work?

Of course not. Don't be daft. What a proposturous idea.
 
You can, but your PSU might complain about spinning up 6 drives,
if you're using the standard one.
