What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform data rates measured in modem (1200) units, a historic serial communication speed, into SCSI (Ultra-2) units, a current parallel storage interface standard. It facilitates comparison and analysis between old telecommunications modem speeds and modern high-performance SCSI transfer rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in modem (1200) units that you want to convert
-
Select modem (1200) as the input unit and SCSI (Ultra-2) as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to see the equivalent value in SCSI (Ultra-2) units
-
Use the result to compare or integrate legacy serial data rates with modern storage interface speeds
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer rates from modem (1200) to SCSI (Ultra-2) units

Supports comparison between legacy modem speeds and modern parallel interface speeds
-
Includes practical examples for straightforward unit conversion
-
Browser-based and easy to use for telecommunication and computing professionals
Examples
-
1200 Modem (1200) converts to 0.00225 SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
10,000 Modem (1200) converts to 0.01875 SCSI (Ultra-2)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing legacy low-speed modem data rates with high-speed SCSI storage interfaces
-
Facilitating migration between telecommunications equipment and modern data-center hardware
-
Analyzing compatibility for legacy terminal connections versus enterprise storage solutions
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that modem (1200) is a legacy low-bit-rate serial standard primarily for early telecommunication uses
-
Use conversion results to assess data rate differences rather than to imply practical interoperability
-
Leverage the tool when maintaining legacy systems or designing integration with modern computing peripherals
Limitations
-
Direct interoperability is limited due to fundamentally different interface technologies used by modem (1200) and SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
Data rates differ by orders of magnitude, so performance equivalence is not achievable
-
The tool serves primarily for comparison and analysis rather than physical device integration
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (1200) represent?
-
Modem (1200) refers to a legacy modem with a nominal data-transfer rate of 1,200 bits per second, historically used in early dial-up and telemetry systems.
-
What is SCSI (Ultra-2)?
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) is a parallel Small Computer System Interface standard that provides higher data-transfer rates using Low Voltage Differential signaling for enterprise storage and server peripherals.
-
Why convert between modem (1200) and SCSI (Ultra-2) units?
-
Converting these units helps compare legacy low-speed serial data rates with modern high-speed storage interfaces, aiding in system migrations and interoperability analysis.
Key Terminology
-
Modem (1200)
