Limitations
-
Conversion compares metrics with vastly different scales and applications
-
Modem (1200) speeds are many orders of magnitude slower than SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
Direct practical equivalence in data rates is limited and mainly for reference
-
Not suitable for real-time data transfer calculations or modern networking assessments
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (1200) represent?
-
Modem (1200) refers to a legacy modem speed with a nominal data transfer rate of 1,200 bits per second, commonly used in early dial-up telecommunication systems.
-
What is SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is a parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling, supporting data transfer rates up to 160 megabytes per second, mainly for storage devices.
-
Why convert between these two units?
-
Converting helps users understand and compare the vast difference in data transfer speeds between old telecommunications modems and high-speed storage interfaces for benchmarking and system analysis.
