Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does Modem (28.8k) refer to?
-
It is an informal term for a data rate of approximately 28,800 bits per second, representing the throughput of a 28.8k dial-up modem over analog telephone lines.
-
What is SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is a parallel interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling, offering a bandwidth of up to 160 megabytes per second for storage device connections.
-
Why convert between Modem (28.8k) and SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
Converting between these units helps compare data rates from legacy analog modems to those of high-speed storage buses for system compatibility and performance assessment.
Key Terminology
-
Modem (28.8k)
-
A designation for a data transfer rate of around 28.8 kilobits per second, typical of classic dial-up modem speeds over analog phone lines.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI standard that utilizes Low Voltage Differential signaling to achieve up to 160 megabytes per second data transfer between storage devices and hosts.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The amount of digital data moved from one place to another in a given time, commonly measured in bits or bytes per second.
