What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps translate data transfer rates from gigabyte per second (using SI decimal units) to IDE (DMA mode 2), a legacy data transfer mode for PATA/IDE devices. It enables users to understand throughput equivalences between modern data rates and older interface standards.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the data transfer rate value in gigabyte/second (SI def.).
  • Select IDE (DMA mode 2) as the target unit for conversion.
  • Calculate to see the equivalent transfer mode value.
  • Use the result to assess or configure legacy storage hardware.

Key Features

  • Converts data transfer speeds from gigabyte/second (SI def.) to IDE (DMA mode 2).
  • Provides conversion based on established throughput equivalences.
  • Supports benchmarking and configuration of legacy PATA/IDE devices.
  • Offers practical examples for easy understanding.

Examples

  • 2 gigabyte/second (SI def.) equals 120.48192771 IDE (DMA mode 2).
  • 0.5 gigabyte/second (SI def.) equals 30.12048193 IDE (DMA mode 2).

Common Use Cases

  • Translating modern SI-based data rates to legacy PATA/IDE transfer modes.
  • Configuring or benchmarking older hard drives that use IDE DMA mode 2.
  • Diagnosing legacy device performance and CPU utilization in older systems.
  • Assisting firmware or BIOS setups in selecting appropriate transfer modes.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure the input uses the SI definition with decimal byte units.
  • Use this converter primarily for legacy hardware scenarios.
  • Cross-check conversion results with device documentation for accuracy.
  • Understand that conversions approximate throughput rather than exact byte counts.

Limitations

  • Applicable only to legacy PATA/IDE systems and not modern interfaces.
  • IDE DMA mode definitions are based on hardware timing, not precise data sizes.
  • Conversion provides approximate throughput equivalencies, not exact transfers.
  • Usage relevance declines with the decrease of IDE DMA modes in current technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does gigabyte/second (SI def.) mean?
It represents data transfer rates where one gigabyte equals 10^9 bytes per second, using decimal-based SI prefixes.

What is IDE DMA mode 2?
It is a Parallel ATA (IDE) data transfer mode allowing devices to move data directly to system memory with minimal CPU intervention, offering better throughput than PIO modes.

Why convert from gigabyte/second to IDE DMA mode 2?
Converting helps users translate modern data rates into legacy transfer modes to configure, benchmark, or troubleshoot older PATA/IDE hardware.

Key Terminology

Gigabyte/second (SI def.)
A data transfer rate unit where one gigabyte equals 1,000,000,000 bytes transmitted in one second, using decimal prefixes.
IDE (DMA mode 2)
A legacy Parallel ATA data transfer method providing efficient data movement between IDE devices and system memory with reduced CPU load.
Data transfer rate
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device or location to another, often measured in bytes per second or multiples thereof.
