What Is This Tool?
This converter helps transform data transfer rates from Ethernet (fast) units to SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units, facilitating comparisons between network speeds and storage interface bandwidths used in IT and legacy systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the data transfer rate value in Ethernet (fast) units.
-
Select Ethernet (fast) as the source unit and SCSI (LVD Ultra160) as the target unit.
-
Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent rate in SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units.
Key Features
-
Supports conversion between Ethernet (fast) and SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units.
-
Includes units relevant for legacy IT infrastructure and storage devices.
-
Browser-based tool with straightforward unit selection and input options.
-

Examples
-
10 Ethernet (fast) equals 0.78125 SCSI (LVD Ultra160).
-
50 Ethernet (fast) equals 3.90625 SCSI (LVD Ultra160).
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing network speeds to storage interface bandwidths in system design.
-
IT infrastructure planning involving network and storage devices.
-
Evaluating legacy servers, disk arrays, and backup systems.
-
Assessing compatibility and performance benchmarks for older hardware.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Remember to account for the difference in units: Ethernet (fast) uses megabits per second, while SCSI (LVD Ultra160) uses megabytes per second.
-
Use this conversion primarily for legacy or specialized hardware comparisons.
-
Consider practical environmental factors when interpreting SCSI (LVD Ultra160) throughput.
-
Verify that the selected units fit your infrastructure's compatibility and benchmarking needs.
Limitations
-
Ethernet (fast) rates are in megabits per second, whereas SCSI (LVD Ultra160) rates are in megabytes per second, requiring proper unit conversion.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) values represent maximum sustained throughput, which may differ in real-world use.
-
Conversion is mainly applicable to legacy systems and may not reflect performance of modern high-speed interfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why is the conversion rate between Ethernet (fast) and SCSI (LVD Ultra160) less than 1?
-
Because Ethernet (fast) measures in megabits per second and SCSI (LVD Ultra160) in megabytes per second, the conversion accounts for the 8 bits per byte difference, resulting in a rate less than 1.
Key Terminology
-
Ethernet (fast)
-
A family of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards with a nominal data rate of 100 megabits per second, often used in small LANs and legacy network segments.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling, providing up to 160 megabytes per second maximum sustained data transfer between host adapters and storage devices.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The amount of digital data moved from one place to another in a given time, commonly measured in bits per second or bytes per second.
