-
1000 modem (2400) equals 0.0180723 IDE (UDMA mode 0).
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing legacy dial-up modem speeds to IDE device transfer rates.
-
Diagnosing and analyzing vintage communication and storage hardware performance.
-
Supporting retro-computing projects and modem emulation.
-
Evaluating throughput when migrating from PATA to modern interfaces.

Testing compatibility of legacy telecommunications and computer systems.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure correct unit selection for meaningful comparisons.
-
Use this converter for legacy and specialized scenarios only.
-
Be aware that modem (2400) is a descriptive speed, not an exact SI unit.
-
Consider IDE (UDMA mode 0) values represent nominal maximum transfer rates.
-
Use conversion results as a general guide rather than precise measurements.
Limitations
-
Modem (2400) represents a gross bit rate descriptor, not an SI unit.
-
IDE (UDMA mode 0) rates are given in megabytes per second requiring context for accurate interpretation.
-
The conversion applies primarily to legacy and specialized use cases, not modern data rates.
-
Precision limitations due to the nature of legacy speed classifications.
-
Not suitable for modern network or storage device comparisons.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (2400) represent?
-
Modem (2400) denotes a data transfer rate of 2400 bits per second, common with early dial-up modems such as ITU-T V.22bis.
-
What is IDE (UDMA mode 0)?
-
IDE (UDMA mode 0) refers to an Ultra DMA transfer mode for legacy Parallel ATA devices with a nominal maximum raw data transfer rate around 16.7 MB/s.
-
Why convert between modem (2400) and IDE (UDMA mode 0)?
-
Users convert between these units to compare legacy modem data speeds with PATA device transfer rates, aiding in retro-computing and legacy hardware analysis.
-
Is this converter suitable for modern data rates?
-
No, this conversion is intended for legacy and specialized scenarios and is not appropriate for current data transfer comparisons.
-
Are modem (2400) speeds exact values?
-
No, modem (2400) is a descriptive speed classification, not an exact SI unit, reflecting gross bit rate.
Key Terminology
