What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to translate data transfer measurements from Ethernet, a networking technology defining data transmission methods, to SCSI (LVD Ultra80), a storage interface standard offering specific bandwidth for legacy devices. It's useful for comparing modern and legacy data transfer methods to optimize system integration.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in Ethernet representing the data transfer rate.
-
Select 'Ethernet' as the source unit and 'SCSI (LVD Ultra80)' as the target unit.
-
Click on the convert button to get the equivalent value in SCSI (LVD Ultra80).
-
Use the results to compare or plan data transfer rates between technologies.

-
Provides usage examples for better understanding.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with intuitive input options.
Examples
-
10 Ethernet equals 0.15625 SCSI (LVD Ultra80).
-
64 Ethernet equals 1 SCSI (LVD Ultra80).
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing network transfer capabilities with legacy storage bandwidth.
-
Aligning network and storage throughput in mixed system environments.
-
Planning IT infrastructure involving both modern Ethernet and legacy SCSI devices.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that Ethernet refers to network protocols, so conversion rates are based on common link speeds.
-
Consider hardware limitations and environmental factors when interpreting conversion results.
-
Use conversion values as guidelines for planning rather than exact performance figures.
Limitations
-
Ethernet is a protocol and framing technology, not a strict data transfer unit, making conversions approximate.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80) has a bandwidth cap of 80 MB/s which may limit comparison with faster Ethernet speeds.
-
Actual transfer rates depend on hardware capabilities, overhead, and other conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is Ethernet a unit of data transfer?
-
No, Ethernet defines how data is packaged and transmitted but is not itself a unit of measurement.
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra80) represent?
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80) is a storage interface providing up to 80 MB/s bandwidth using a Low Voltage Differential signaling standard.
-
Why convert Ethernet values to SCSI (LVD Ultra80)?
-
To compare or align data transfer capabilities between network technologies and legacy storage interfaces for system planning.
Key Terminology
-
Ethernet
-
A set of standardized wired networking technologies and protocols defining data transmission for LANs.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80)
-
A legacy storage interface using Low Voltage Differential signaling with 80 MB/s bandwidth on a 16-bit bus.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device to another.
