Comments: The fan control function works fine and I really like the fact that it fits in a 3.5 inch bay. Don't expect 0v,1v,2v,3v,4v,etc operation. It's more like 0v, 5v,7v,9v,12v which is still plenty of control. I am able to use 2 fans on the same channel without any problems. You can probably rig even more fans per channel as long as you don't go over the 18W per channel max. The built in light controller is a joke. I've read several reviews of broker lights received on delivery. The packaging seems okay, so I'm not sure if that's a Vantec issue or a New Egg/Fed Ex shipping issue. Mine arrived in one piece, but in operation with the light control set to 'on' it still flashes on and off like it has a short in it. I don't think it actually has a short, but rather, the sound control for the light can not be turned off completely as Vantec advertises. If I had this purchase to do over, I would have purchased the cheaper Vantec 3.5 inch 4 channel model since I rarely turn any of my fans completly off anyway.
