What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to transform data transfer rates measured in megabits per second (using the SI definition) into the equivalent values in IDE (PIO mode 2), a legacy ATA interface timing mode. It is useful for comparing modern network speeds with older storage interface transfer modes.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the data transfer rate value in megabit per second (SI definition).
  • Select the source unit as megabit/second (SI def.) and the target unit as IDE (PIO mode 2).
  • Click the convert button to get the corresponding value in IDE (PIO mode 2).
  • Use the result to compare or configure legacy IDE device timings or troubleshoot older systems.

Key Features

  • Converts megabit/second (SI def.) units into IDE (PIO mode 2) units using accurate conversion rates.
  • Supports users dealing with legacy hardware and vintage computing configurations.
  • Browser-based tool with straightforward, user-friendly interface for quick conversions.
  • Helps interpret and configure older BIOS or firmware drive timing settings.

Examples

  • Converting 10 megabit/second (SI def.) results in 0.15060241 IDE (PIO mode 2).
  • A transfer rate of 50 megabit/second (SI def.) converts to 0.75301205 IDE (PIO mode 2).

Common Use Cases

  • Understanding broadband speeds and network throughput in legacy unit terms.
  • Configuring or interpreting legacy BIOS and firmware settings for IDE drives.
  • Diagnosing performance issues or compatibility on vintage computers using IDE devices.
  • Reading reports from device drivers about IDE drive transfer modes.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this tool primarily for legacy hardware scenarios involving older IDE hard drives or optical drives.
  • Verify the context of your conversion to ensure applicability, especially when working with non-DMA data transfers.
  • Refer to device and BIOS documentation when adjusting drive timing settings.
  • Avoid comparing this legacy unit directly with modern high-speed protocols without context.

Limitations

  • IDE (PIO mode 2) represents an outdated transfer timing that is much slower than modern data rates.
  • Conversion does not apply to current high-speed communication or storage technologies.
  • This tool is intended for vintage computing and legacy hardware troubleshooting only.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does megabit/second (SI def.) represent?
It is a data transfer rate equal to one million bits transmitted per second, used to quantify the speed of digital communication links.

What is IDE (PIO mode 2)?
It is a legacy ATA/IDE interface timing mode for CPU-driven, non-DMA data transfers between a host and storage device, used mostly in older computers.

When should I use this conversion?
Use it when working with legacy hardware, such as configuring BIOS or troubleshooting older IDE hard drives and optical drives operating under programmed I/O cycles.

Key Terminology

Megabit/second (SI def.)
A unit of data transfer rate equal to one million bits transmitted each second, measuring digital communication bandwidth.
IDE (PIO mode 2)
An older ATA/IDE interface timing standard for CPU-driven (non-DMA) data transfers between a host and storage devices, defining legacy programmed I/O cycles.
PIO
Programmed Input/Output mode, an interface timing method where data transfer is controlled directly by the CPU rather than via direct memory access.
