I was planning on getting the Fortron Blue Storm sometime in the future, although I read it only has two SATA cables. Does this mean I can only power two SATA devices? Or is there some way to attach an additional cable?
Thanks.

you can get a 4pin molex to SATA adapter, many new motherboard come with one.

These are all the cables it comes with:
20" cable with a 24-pin ATX connector
20" auxiliary 12V connector for processors that require it
33" cable with two 4-pin IDE drive connectors and one floppy drive power connector
2 x 33" cable with three 4-pin IDE drive connectors
28" cable with two SATA drive connectors
20" 6-pin auxiliary power connector for PCI Express
Are you saying use a IDE to SATA adapter?

No its a 4 pin molex they are just calling it an IDE its the same connector you use for IDE devices, fans, and some graphics cards. If you were to go buy an IDE to SATA adapter it would do something entirely different.
this is what I'm talking about.
