What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert data transfer rates expressed in kilobyte per second (kB/s) to the specialized bandwidth units used by the SCSI (LVD Ultra160) interface, which measures high-performance parallel SCSI storage throughput.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in kilobyte/second [kB/s] representing your data transfer rate
-
Select kilobyte/second [kB/s] as the input unit
-
Choose SCSI (LVD Ultra160) as the target unit for conversion
-
Initiate the conversion to get the equivalent rate in SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
Use the results to assist with performance evaluation or compatibility assessment
Key Features
-
Accurately convert kilobyte/second (kB/s) values to SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units
-
Supports data transfer measurements important for legacy storage technology
-
Easy to use and browser-based conversion process
-
Provides conversion examples for clarity
-
Helps evaluate and compare storage interface performance
Examples
-
500 kB/s equals 0.0032 SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
1,000 kB/s equals 0.0064 SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting small-file download or upload speeds over slower connections
-
Specifying throughput in embedded systems' serial links or telemetry streams
-
Assessing maximum data-transfer rates for legacy RAID controllers and disk arrays
-
Comparing tape drive and backup system bandwidths using parallel SCSI interfaces
-
Planning migrations or compatibility evaluations involving SCSI storage buses
Tips & Best Practices
-
Be aware that kilobyte definitions may differ between decimal (1,000 bytes) and binary (1,024 bytes) contexts
-
Understand that SCSI (LVD Ultra160) indicates a maximum theoretical bandwidth, not guaranteed sustained throughput
-
Use this conversion primarily for legacy system evaluations due to the obsolescence of the SCSI (LVD Ultra160) interface
-
Cross-check conversion results for legacy equipment compatibility planning
-
Apply conversions to help benchmark and compare older storage hardware performance
Limitations
-
Variation in kilobyte size definition (decimal vs binary) can affect conversion precision
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) reflects maximum bandwidth, which may not represent actual transfer speeds
-
The tool is mainly relevant for legacy systems as modern storage interfaces have replaced SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does a kilobyte per second [kB/s] represent?
-
It is a measure of data transfer rate showing how many kilobytes are transmitted each second, typically using 1 kB as 1,000 bytes according to SI convention.
-
What is SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is a parallel SCSI interface standard using low voltage differential signaling, providing a maximum bandwidth of 160 megabytes per second for storage device connections.
-
Why convert kB/s to SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
Users convert these units to relate common data transfer measurements to specialized parallel SCSI bandwidth metrics, aiding in legacy system performance evaluation and compatibility checks.
Key Terminology
-
Kilobyte/second [kB/s]
-
A unit of data transfer rate corresponding to the transmission of one kilobyte (1,000 bytes by SI) each second.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling, offering a maximum sustained data transfer rate of up to 160 megabytes per second.
