Examples
-
1 Ethernet (gigabit) equals 1.5625 SCSI (LVD Ultra80)
-
2 Ethernet (gigabit) equals 3.125 SCSI (LVD Ultra80)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing network speeds of Ethernet with legacy high-speed storage interfaces
-
Integrating modern Ethernet network equipment with older SCSI storage devices
-
Managing data transfer rates in data centers and IT infrastructure
-
Bridging performance metrics between networking and storage technologies
Tips & Best Practices
-
Consider the context of use since Ethernet and SCSI serve different purposes
-
Use the conversion primarily to compare nominal transfer rates, not actual throughput
-
Account for protocol overhead and environmental factors separately as they are not included
-
Ensure hardware compatibility when integrating network and storage systems
Limitations
-
Conversion shows nominal transfer rates and excludes protocol overhead and latency
-
Does not measure actual data throughput or real-world performance
-
Ethernet and SCSI function differently and are not interchangeable hardware interfaces
-
Use the results carefully considering the specific use case and infrastructure
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the main purpose of converting Ethernet (gigabit) to SCSI (LVD Ultra80)?
-
The conversion helps compare network data transfer speeds with legacy storage interfaces to aid integration and management in mixed IT environments.
-
Does the conversion reflect actual data throughput?
-
No, the conversion uses nominal transfer rates and does not account for protocol overhead, latency, or environmental factors affecting real throughput.
-
Are Ethernet and SCSI interfaces interchangeable?
-
No, Ethernet is a networking standard while SCSI is primarily used for block storage, so they serve different functions and require proper context when compared.
Key Terminology
-
Ethernet (gigabit)
-
A family of IEEE 802.3 standards offering nominal 1 Gbit/s data transfer rates over copper or fiber for local area networks.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80)
-
A Low Voltage Differential variant of Ultra2 SCSI with up to 80 MB/s raw transfer bandwidth using a 16-bit wide bus and 40 MHz synchronous transfers.
-
Nominal Transfer Rate
-
Theoretical data transfer speed without accounting for real-world overhead such as protocol and latency.
