Common Use Cases
-
Comparing broadband internet speeds with legacy storage throughput
-
Evaluating network-interface throughput against SCSI storage devices
-
Planning legacy server upgrades by assessing storage bus bandwidth
-
Checking compatibility of tape drives and RAID controllers in IT infrastructure
Tips & Best Practices
-
Remember that the conversion assumes 8 bits per byte without overhead
-
Use this tool to complement other bandwidth and performance evaluations
-
Consider the legacy nature of SCSI (LVD Ultra160) when planning future upgrades
-
Double-check units when comparing transfer rates across different systems
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes exact 8-bit bytes and does not reflect protocol overhead
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is a legacy standard not representative of modern interfaces
-
Differences between bits per second and bytes per second units limit direct comparisons
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does megabit/second (SI def.) measure?
-
It measures data transfer rate as one million bits transmitted each second, using the SI prefix mega to denote million.
-
What is SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
It is a legacy parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling, specifying data throughput up to 160 megabytes per second.
-
Why convert between these units?
-
To compare general network speeds with storage interface performance in legacy IT setups, aiding system compatibility and performance tuning.
Key Terminology
-
Megabit/second (SI def.)
