I believe that as far as u don`t exceed the channel`s maximum Watt capacity, there should n`t be any problems with connecting more that one fan per channel.

ok thanks. But how do you connect more than 1 fan to a single 3-pin connector in the Vantec unit?

U know i have tested out the SUnbeam Fan controller w/ the blue and red lights. I can run 2 80mm LeD fans on 1 channel. Very impressive. The Vantec one wont run when u hook up 2 80mms on 1 channel.

I have one of these too (it rox:D )
I beleive they are rated at 18watts per channell which means you can control ALOT of fans with it considering most fans are 4-10watts apeice. Just twist wires together and slap on some electrical tape to connect fans together. or if ya wanna get fancy about it, use soldier and headshrink
