What Is This Tool?
This tool converts data transfer speeds from modem (110), a legacy bit rate used in early dial-up communications, to SCSI (Ultra-2), a modern high-performance parallel interface standard. It helps translate extremely low historical data rates into current enterprise storage transfer rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the numeric value representing modem (110) data rate in bits per second
-
Select 'modem (110)' as the source unit and 'SCSI (Ultra-2)' as the target unit
-
Start the conversion to get the equivalent data transfer rate in SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
Use results to understand or document data transfer differences between legacy and modern interfaces
Key Features
-
Converts between modem (110) speeds and SCSI (Ultra-2) data rates
-
Supports comparison of vintage telecommunication and modern storage speeds
-
Easy to use with online browser accessibility
-
Provides clarity in legacy-to-modern data transfer conversions
Examples
-
10 modem (110) converts to 0.00000171875 SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
100 modem (110) converts to 0.0000171875 SCSI (Ultra-2)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing vintage teleprinter and dial-up data rates to modern storage interfaces
-
Emulating legacy serial communication speeds for vintage computing projects
-
Documenting historic low-rate telemetry alongside current enterprise storage systems
-
Understanding scale differences between early modem links and SCSI bus performance
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter for illustrative or documentation purposes rather than practical data transfer
-
Remember the vast speed difference between modem (110) and SCSI (Ultra-2) when interpreting results
-
Apply conversions mainly in legacy system analysis, archival, or compatibility testing scenarios
Limitations
-
This conversion provides a nominal equivalence between very different technologies and speeds
-
Direct interoperability or data exchange between modem (110) and SCSI (Ultra-2) hardware is not possible
-
Due to differing protocols and signal types, this is a conceptual conversion, not a physical one
-
Precision may be limited by rounding and fundamental transfer protocol differences
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (110) represent in data transfer?
-
Modem (110) represents a legacy data transfer speed of approximately 110 bits per second, used in early dial-up and teletype-style communication links.
-
What is SCSI (Ultra-2) used for?
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) is a parallel interface standard used for connecting high-performance storage devices like disk arrays and tape drives to servers in modern data centers.
-
Can I use this converter for actual data communication between devices?
-
No, this conversion is conceptual and nominal; practical interoperability between modem (110) and SCSI (Ultra-2) devices is not feasible.
Key Terminology
-
Modem (110)
-
A data transfer speed denoting approximately 110 bits per second, used in early dial-up and teletype communication.
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel Small Computer System Interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling for high-performance block storage connectivity.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device to another, often measured in bits per second.
