What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate data transfer rates from a modem (28.8k), representing analog dial-up speeds, into the SCSI (Ultra-2) unit used in parallel storage device interfaces. It helps compare vastly different data-transfer technologies within telecommunications and data storage fields.
How to Use This Tool?

Key Features
-
Converts data transfer rates from modem (28.8k) units to SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
Supports comparison of legacy dial-up modem speeds with modern high-performance storage interfaces
-
Provides clear numerical conversion based on established conversion rates
-
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring additional software
Examples
-
2 modem (28.8k) equals 0.00009 SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
100 modem (28.8k) equals 0.0045 SCSI (Ultra-2)
Common Use Cases
-
Estimating download time and legacy modem throughput for classic dial-up connections
-
Comparing old modem speeds with modern parallel SCSI interfaces for IT infrastructure assessments
-
Evaluating data transfer performance differences between analog telephone lines and enterprise storage networks
-
Supporting telecommunications legacy analysis and data center equipment integration reviews
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this conversion primarily for comparative analysis rather than real-world interoperability
-
Consider the different technological contexts when interpreting conversion results
-
Keep in mind the impact of signal quality on modem data transfer rates, which do not affect SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
Apply the tool to gain insights into performance gaps rather than direct device compatibility
Limitations
-
The conversion is theoretical and mainly for comparison since modem (28.8k) and SCSI (Ultra-2) reflect different technologies
-
Direct substitution or practical interoperability between these two interfaces is not possible
-
Modem speeds depend on analog signal quality and line noise, factors not relevant to SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
Do not expect to convert device performance or behavior beyond the numerical rate translation
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (28.8k) represent?
-
Modem (28.8k) is an informal label for a data transfer rate of approximately 28,800 bits per second, typical of a 28.8k dial-up analog telephone line connection.
-
What is SCSI (Ultra-2) used for?
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) is a parallel interface standard used mostly for connecting enterprise disk arrays, RAID controllers, tape drives, and legacy high-performance computing peripherals.
-
Can I use this conversion for practical hardware interfacing?
-
No, the conversion is theoretical and intended for comparison purposes only, as the two units correspond to very different technologies and data transfer methods.
Key Terminology
-
Modem (28.8k)
-
A data transfer rate measuring approximately 28.8 kilobits per second over analog telephone lines, used in classic dial-up modems.
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel Small Computer System Interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling for high-speed data transfers in enterprise storage and peripherals.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
A measurement of how many bits of data can be moved per second between devices or across networks.
