What Is This Tool?
This unit converter facilitates the conversion of data transfer rates from IDE (UDMA-66), a legacy Parallel ATA transfer mode, into H11 units. While IDE (UDMA-66) defines a maximum theoretical data rate for older PATA devices, H11 is not a standard unit for data transfer. This tool helps translate transfer speeds between these units for benchmarking or compatibility assessments.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the data transfer rate value in IDE (UDMA-66) units
-
Choose IDE (UDMA-66) as the source unit and H11 as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the corresponding value in H11
-
Use the results to compare or interpret transfer speeds across units
Key Features
-
Converts between IDE (UDMA-66) and H11 data transfer units
-
Applies a fixed conversion rate for accurate unit translation
-
Supports legacy PATA device performance analysis
-
Browser-based and easy to use without installation
Examples
-
2 IDE (UDMA-66) converts to 687.5 H11
-
0.5 IDE (UDMA-66) converts to 171.875 H11
Common Use Cases
-
Checking maximum burst throughput of legacy PATA storage devices
-
Configuring or verifying IDE drive transfer modes in BIOS or older systems
-
Benchmarking or comparing transfer rates for legacy hardware
-
Interpreting transfer speeds for research or maintenance of historical devices
Tips & Best Practices
-
Remember that H11 is not a standard data transfer unit and may lack practical use
-
Use standard units like MB/s or Mbps for meaningful performance analysis
-
Verify device support and cable requirements when working with IDE (UDMA-66)
-
Consider environmental and hardware factors that may affect actual speeds
Limitations
-
H11 is not a recognized or standard unit for data transfer measurements
-
Conversion results to H11 may not have standardized or practical meaning
-
IDE (UDMA-66)’s theoretical data rate may not reflect real-world performance
-
For accurate comparisons, rely on conventional units such as MB/s or Mbps
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is IDE (UDMA-66)?
-
IDE (UDMA-66), also known as Ultra DMA Mode 4 or ATA-66, is a Parallel ATA transfer mode specifying a theoretical maximum raw data rate of 66.7 megabytes per second, used mainly with legacy PATA storage devices.
-
Is H11 a standard unit for data transfer?
-
No, H11 is not a recognized or standard unit for data transfer; typical data transfer rates are measured in bits or bytes per second using common multiples and prefixes.
-
Why convert IDE (UDMA-66) to H11 if H11 is not standard?
-
Users convert to H11 mainly to translate or compare legacy PATA transfer mode speeds into H11 units for benchmarking or compatibility purposes despite H11’s non-standard status.
