Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that ISDN (dual channel) rates are telecommunication-based and not SI units
-
Use the converted values as approximations mainly for planning and comparison
-
Consider physical factors affecting SCSI (Fast Wide) throughput such as cable quality and device negotiation
-
Combine conversion results with practical knowledge of your devices for better decision making
Limitations
-
ISDN (dual channel) speeds reflect channel bonding data rates rather than standard units
-
SCSI (Fast Wide) throughput is theoretical and varies with implementation details
-
Conversion scale is approximate and not suitable for precise operational measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does ISDN (dual channel) represent?
-
It indicates using both 64 kbit/s B channels of ISDN in parallel to provide about 128 kbit/s combined throughput, describing a telecommunication data-transfer service level.
-
What is SCSI (Fast Wide)?
-
It is a SCSI-2 interface mode combining Fast timing with a 16-bit wide data bus, offering up to about 20 MB/s of theoretical transfer speed for legacy storage devices.
-
Why use this converter between ISDN (dual channel) and SCSI (Fast Wide)?
-
To compare or integrate data transfer rates from telecommunication services with legacy SCSI storage speeds, aiding interoperability and performance planning in mixed environments.
Key Terminology
-
ISDN (dual channel)
-
A telecommunication data rate indicator using two 64 kbit/s B channels bonded in parallel for combined data throughput of about 128 kbit/s.
-
SCSI (Fast Wide)
-
A SCSI-2 mode combining Fast timing with a 16-bit data bus, yielding theoretical maximum transfers near 20 MB/s for legacy storage devices.
-
Channel Bonding
-
The process of using multiple communication channels together to increase overall data throughput.
