Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that both units reflect descriptive speeds, not precise SI units
-
Use conversion results as approximate performance references rather than exact measures
-
Cross-check hardware context when comparing modem speeds and SCSI performances
-
Apply conversions when evaluating legacy system capabilities or emulating old communication methods
-
Consult this tool primarily for historic and retro-computing related assessments
Limitations
-
Modem (2400) and SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) are descriptive units, not precise SI data rates
-
Practical throughput can vary depending on hardware and encoding methods
-
Direct equivalence between these units is approximate and intended mainly for theoretical comparisons
-
Conversion does not account for real-world performance variations or protocol overhead
-
The tool is not suitable for modern data transfer benchmarks
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (2400) represent?
-
It denotes an early modem data transfer rate of 2400 bits per second used typically in dial-up modem standards such as ITU-T V.22bis.
-
What is SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)?
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) is a legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode combining a wider data bus and faster signalling for higher throughput with storage devices like hard drives and tape.
-
Why convert from modem (2400) to SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)?
-
To translate legacy low-speed modem rates into the higher data transfer capabilities of older SCSI storage interfaces for compatibility assessments and performance benchmarking.
Key Terminology

Modem (2400)
-
A unit representing an early modem speed of 2400 bits per second, common in historic dial-up communications.
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)
-
A legacy parallel storage interface standard featuring a wider data bus and faster signalling for increased transfer rates compared to earlier SCSI modes.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted, here measured or described by legacy unit standards.
