Aurora R13, how many 3.5" SATA HDDs accomodate internally?

The title says it all. From what I can see from the Aurora R13 Service Manual, there is only 1 bay for a 3.5" HDD. I do see 3 SATA ports on the motherboard suggesting that there could be more bays. Anyone have a definitive answer?

Those extra SATAs are probably for 2.5" SSD drives. First thing I did to my R10 is rip out the 3.5" cage.
If I need mass storage on a scale that only spinning rust can offer, I'll do it in an external NAS.

2x SSD and 2x NVMe (one on a PCIe riser) is plenty enough for a gaming PC.

1 x 3.5" bay, same as with previous systems.
