What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate data transfer rates from Ethernet, a widely used LAN networking technology, to SCSI (LVD Ultra160), a legacy storage interface standard, supporting comparison and planning across different hardware systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the data transfer rate value in Ethernet units
-
Select Ethernet as the input unit and SCSI (LVD Ultra160) as the output unit
-
Click convert to see the corresponding rate in SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
Use the result to compare or assess throughput capabilities
Key Features
-
Convert data transfer rates between Ethernet and SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units
-
Supports standardized networking and storage interface metrics
-
Clear conversion formula provided for accurate translations
-
Useful for IT infrastructure, data center, and legacy system management
Examples
-
Converting 10 Ethernet gives 0.078125 SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
Converting 100 Ethernet results in 0.78125 SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing network data rates with legacy storage bus speeds
-
Planning system compatibility between network and storage devices
-
Assessing throughput capabilities for storage arrays and backup systems
-
Supporting IT infrastructure and data center performance evaluations
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct specification of Ethernet link rate when converting
-
Use conversions as a guideline rather than exact throughput measurement
-
Consider overhead and encoding differences affecting real-world speeds
-
Use the tool to assist in migration and integration planning
Limitations
-
Ethernet is a protocol family, not a precise unit, so link rate must be defined
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) bandwidth is maximum and may differ from actual throughput
-
Data encoding and technology generations can impact effective transfer rates
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I directly convert any Ethernet speed to SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
Conversion depends on specifying a particular Ethernet link rate, as Ethernet is a protocol family rather than a strict unit.
-
Does the conversion reflect actual data throughput?
-
No, the SCSI (LVD Ultra160) figure represents maximum channel bandwidth and actual throughput may be lower due to overhead.
-
Why convert between Ethernet and SCSI units?
-
This helps compare network speeds with legacy storage interfaces for planning compatibility and performance in IT environments.
Key Terminology
-
Ethernet
-
A standardized set of wired networking technologies and protocols used to transmit data over local area networks at various link rates.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling that defines a maximum data transfer bandwidth of 160 MB/s for storage devices.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device to another, typically measured in megabits or megabytes per second.
