What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps translate data transfer speeds measured in megabytes per second (MB/s) into the IDE (PIO mode 3) format, which represents a specific legacy IDE storage transfer mode with theoretical speed limits.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the data transfer speed value in megabyte per second (MB/s).
  • Select IDE (PIO mode 3) as the target unit for conversion.
  • Review the calculated IDE (PIO mode 3) equivalent based on the given formula.
  • Use the result to compare speeds across technology generations.

Key Features

  • Converts between modern data rates (MB/s) and legacy IDE transfer modes.
  • Includes a precise conversion rate for accurate calculations.
  • Supports understanding performance differences between current and historical storage technologies.

Examples

  • 10 MB/s converts to approximately 0.9447 IDE (PIO mode 3).
  • 50 MB/s converts to approximately 4.7233 IDE (PIO mode 3).

Common Use Cases

  • Comparing modern storage device throughput with legacy IDE transfer speeds.
  • Assessing performance in vintage computer restoration or retrocomputing.
  • Benchmarking data transfer rates for embedded systems using older IDE devices.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm whether megabytes are calculated in decimal or binary form to ensure correct interpretation.
  • Consider that IDE (PIO mode 3) rates represent theoretical maxima impacted by CPU load.
  • Use this conversion for comparison purposes rather than precise speed measurement.

Limitations

  • IDE (PIO mode 3) throughput is theoretical and non-DMA, so actual speeds may be slower due to CPU constraints.
  • Conversion values can vary depending on the megabyte definition (decimal vs binary).
  • Does not factor in additional protocol overheads or system bottlenecks affecting actual transfer rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1 MB/s convert to in IDE (PIO mode 3)?
1 Megabyte per second equals approximately 0.0944663063 IDE (PIO mode 3) units based on the defined conversion rate.

Why does IDE (PIO mode 3) have lower throughput than modern MB/s rates?
IDE (PIO mode 3) is a CPU-driven, non-DMA mode with a theoretical max of about 11.1 MB/s, which limits its throughput compared to modern storage protocols.

Can this conversion be used to measure actual transfer speeds accurately?
No, because IDE (PIO mode 3) rates are theoretical and do not consider practical overheads or bottlenecks that can reduce real-world transfer speeds.

Key Terminology

Megabyte/second [MB/s]
A data transfer rate signifying one megabyte of data moved each second; can be based on decimal or binary byte definitions.
IDE (PIO mode 3)
A programmed I/O transfer mode for Parallel ATA/IDE devices that is CPU-managed and has a max theoretical throughput near 11.1 MB/s.
