What is IDE (UDMA mode 2)?

IDE (UDMA mode 2) is an Ultra DMA mode for Parallel ATA interfaces providing a max theoretical transfer rate of about 33.3 megabytes per second, commonly known as ATA/33.

Why convert IDE (UDMA mode 2) to kilobit/second?

Converting to kilobit/second helps interpret legacy disk speeds in data transfer units consistent with networking and telemetry standards.

Does this tool work for modern SSDs or SATA drives?

No, this conversion is specific to legacy PATA devices and does not reflect modern storage interface speeds.
