Limitations
-
E.P.T.A. 2 (payload) is protocol-dependent and not an external standard
-
Conversion depends on exact E.P.T.A. 2 protocol implementation
-
SCSI (Sync) speeds vary based on negotiated clock parameters
-
Fixed conversion rates may not reflect all device and environment variations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does E.P.T.A. 2 (payload) represent?
-
It is a payload measurement specific to the E.P.T.A. 2 data transfer protocol, indicating the amount of user data carried in one message as defined by that protocol.
-
What is SCSI (Sync) mode?
-
SCSI (Sync) is a synchronous transfer mode of the SCSI protocol where data transfers are timed with a clock to improve throughput and timing consistency.
-
Why convert between E.P.T.A. 2 (payload) and SCSI (Sync)?
-
To compare effective data transfer rates, estimate bandwidth needs, and integrate systems using these different standards for data exchange.
Key Terminology
-
E.P.T.A. 2 (payload)
-
A protocol-specific unit representing the payload data carried in one E.P.T.A. 2 protocol message.
-
SCSI (Sync)
-
A synchronous transfer mode in the SCSI protocol involving data transfer synchronized by a negotiated clock between devices.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The ratio used to convert data units between E.P.T.A. 2 (payload) and SCSI (Sync), specifically 1 E.P.T.A. 2 (payload) equals 0.192 SCSI (Sync).
