Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (28.8k) measure?
-
It refers to the data transfer rate of 28.8 kilobits per second on a classic analog dial-up modem connection.
-
What is SCSI (Ultra-3) used for?
-
SCSI (Ultra-3) is a parallel storage interface standard used primarily for block-level data transfers between hosts and storage devices.
-
Can I use this tool to directly equate modem speed to storage throughput?
-
No, the units represent different technologies, so conversions serve mainly comparative or illustrative purposes.
Key Terminology
-
Modem (28.8k)
-
An informal label representing a 28.8 kbps data transfer rate over analog telephone lines via dial-up modem.
-
SCSI (Ultra-3)
-
A revision of the Small Computer System Interface standard used for parallel block-level data transfers between hosts and storage devices.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device or system to another, measured in bits per second or equivalent units.
