"The Q14 for 2.5” drive is very well made and it fits into both of my test systems without any difficulty. I'm so impressed with these things that I'm now considering this application for use in my lab..."

Eric A. Hall - Information Week.
"We're a software developer shop. We require the highest levels of speed, redundancy and security. The Q14SS has provided all of those qualities since 2007...We have every intention of purchasing this unit again in our next high performance machine."

Jesse Torres - CTO, Zapster, Inc.

As storage trends evolve and users look towards emerging connectivity options such as SAS and SATA II, Enhance Technology has again raised the bar with the release of QuadraPack™ Q14. Following in the success of the 3.5" product line, the QuadraPack™ Q14 is the industry's first removable storage enclosure designed to house four (4) 2.5" hard drives and is to be mounted in a single 5.25" drive bay which typically is what's left within a PC, Server, or rackmount for device expansion.

Enhance Technology has worked closely with leading hard drive manufacturers of Enterprise-grade 2.5" disk drives, such as Fujitsu and Seagate, to develop a non-proprietary 2.5" multi-drive storage backplane designed for next generation dense storage & embedded applications. The modular design and interface options allow OEMs, System Integrators and VARs to offer more capacity with less enclosure real-estate. Built from solid cold-rolled steel and durable ABS materials, the QuadraPack™ Q14 provides a compact & rugged drive housing well suited for a wide variety of storage applications. QuadraPack™ Q14 features a precision crafted multi-layered PCB backplane to ensure high data integrity, and minimize signal degradation. Equipped with a hi-speed 9500RPM double roll ball-bearing cooling fan and operating at temperature less than 40 degrees, , the Q14 can greatly reduce heat build-up, even when deployed with four 10K enterprise SCSI disk drives.

QuadraPack Q14 is the first and only “compact” internal storage backplane designed for use with (4) 2.5” SCSI/SATA/SAS Enterprise drives. A completely modular and hot-swap architecture makes Q14 The perfect building block for dense computing & embedded applications. Enhance Technology has always been the pioneer in designing and manufacturing storage components for the IT industry, and has envisioned the QuadraPack Q14 being the next versatile tools for the system integrators to configure their next generation box. The QuadraPack Q14 is available in SATA (II), Ultra320 SCSI, and the latest Serial SCSI (SAS) interfaces.
