What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms data transfer values from IDE (UDMA mode 2), a legacy PATA interface transfer mode, into the H11 unit. While H11 is not a standard data transfer measure, this tool aids in comparing older hardware performance within non-standard unit contexts.

-
Enter the value you want to convert from IDE (UDMA mode 2).
-
Select IDE (UDMA mode 2) as the original unit.
-
Choose H11 as the target unit for conversion.
-
Review the converted result reflecting the relative transfer rate in H11.
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer rates from IDE (UDMA mode 2) to H11 units.
-
Supports benchmarking and comparison of legacy PATA device speeds.
-
Browser-based and straightforward to use for IT and archival purposes.
-
Provides examples to illustrate conversion results.
Examples
-
2 IDE (UDMA mode 2) converts to 343.75 H11.
-
0.5 IDE (UDMA mode 2) equals 85.9375 H11.
Common Use Cases
-
Configuring legacy PC BIOS or drive-controller settings for ATA/33 performance.
-
Comparing historic disk throughput or benchmarks involving UDMA mode 2.
-
Diagnosing issues on PATA systems related to device transfer modes.
-
Translating old hardware data rates into H11 units for educational or archival research.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion to contextualize legacy PATA hardware speeds within modern or uncommon units.
-
Be cautious interpreting H11 results since it is not a standardized unit.
-
Consider the theoretical nature of IDE (UDMA mode 2) maximum rates when applying conversions.
-
Clarify the context when sharing converted values to avoid confusion.
Limitations
-
H11 is not a recognized or standard unit for data transfer rates.
-
Real-world data rates for IDE (UDMA mode 2) may differ from theoretical maximums.
-
Interpret results carefully due to H11’s lack of standardization and practical significance.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is IDE (UDMA mode 2)?
-
It is an Ultra DMA transfer mode for Parallel ATA interfaces, providing a maximum theoretical transfer rate of about 33.3 megabytes per second, used in legacy PATA controllers and drives.
-
Is H11 a standard unit for data transfer?
-
No, H11 is not a recognized or standard unit for digital information measurement or transfer rates.

This conversion helps compare legacy hardware performance with contexts where H11 or similar scaled units are used, aiding understanding of relative throughput.
Key Terminology
-
IDE (UDMA mode 2)
-
An Ultra DMA transfer mode for Parallel ATA interfaces, known as ATA/33, offering a theoretical maximum transfer rate of around 33.3 MB/s.
-
H11
-
A non-standard unit not officially recognized for data transfer rates, used here to provide a comparative scale for legacy transfer modes.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device to another, often measured in bytes per second or bits per second.
