What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms data transfer rates measured in kilobyte per second (SI definition) to the SCSI (LVD Ultra160) standard, facilitating comparisons between general data throughput and parallel SCSI interface speeds.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the data transfer rate value in kilobyte per second (SI def.) you want to convert.
-
Select 'kilobyte/second (SI def.)' as the input unit and 'SCSI (LVD Ultra160)' as the output unit.
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent transfer rate in SCSI (LVD Ultra160).
Key Features
-
Accurately converts between kilobyte/second (SI def.) and SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units.
-
Supports data transfer rate comparison for modern and legacy storage interfaces.
-
Provides example conversions for quick reference.
-
Browser-based, easy to use without any installation.
Examples
-
1000 kilobyte/second (SI def.) converts to 0.00625 SCSI (LVD Ultra160).
-
5000 kilobyte/second (SI def.) converts to 0.03125 SCSI (LVD Ultra160).
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting simple file download or upload speeds for small files in web or application contexts.
-
Specifying throughput of embedded devices or sensors transmitting bytes per second.
-
Assessing legacy server RAID controller performance using SCSI (LVD Ultra160) interfaces.
-
Comparing and planning data transfer rates between modern and legacy storage systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool to evaluate both byte-level speeds and legacy storage bus bandwidths.
-
Keep in mind that actual transfer rates may be affected by system overhead and device efficiency.
-
Confirm that SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is relevant to your hardware environment before converting.
-
Check multiple values to understand throughput differences across systems.
Limitations
-
Conversion reflects only scale differences between SI byte rates and parallel bus capacities.
-
Actual transfer speeds can vary due to protocol overhead, device efficiency, and bottlenecks.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is a legacy standard and may not be applicable for modern hardware.
-
Conversion does not account for transfer rate variations from environmental factors.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the kilobyte/second (SI definition)?
-
It is a data transfer rate representing 1000 bytes transmitted each second, used to measure throughput in many contexts.
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra160) represent?
-
It is a parallel SCSI interface standard indicating a maximum sustained data transfer rate of up to 160 megabytes per second using Low Voltage Differential signalling.
-
Why convert between these two units?
-
Converting helps compare simple byte-level rates with legacy SCSI interface bandwidths, useful in storage system design and performance assessment.
Key Terminology
-
Kilobyte/second (SI def.)
-
A data transfer rate equal to 1000 bytes per second, used to measure byte-level throughput.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI interface standard with Low Voltage Differential signalling, providing up to 160 MB/s bandwidth for storage device data transfer.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The amount of data transmitted or processed per unit of time, typically measured in bytes per second or multiples.
