Common Use Cases
-
Estimating download or upload times on 33.6 kbps dial-up modems
-
Benchmarking or documenting historical internet speeds and hardware capabilities
-
Testing and configuring vintage network equipment and software
-
Managing internal hard drives and RAID controllers using parallel SCSI interfaces
-
Performing backups via legacy tape libraries connected with SCSI
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you understand these units relate to different technologies and contexts
-
Use this tool primarily for historical, archival, or legacy system purposes
-
Refer to real-world conditions as throughput may vary with hardware and protocols
-
Avoid using these legacy units for modern system design or integration
Limitations
-
The units measure transfer rates in distinct engineering areas—telecommunications versus storage interfaces
-
They are not directly interchangeable for active hardware integration
-
Actual throughput may be affected by overhead and signal quality
-
Modern transfer rates far exceed these legacy speeds, limiting practical use
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does modem (33.6k) represent?
-
It represents a data transfer speed of about 33.6 kilobits per second, typical for V.34-class dial-up modems over analog phone lines.
-
What is SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)?
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) is a legacy parallel interface standard used to connect storage devices, combining a wider data bus with faster signalling for improved data transfer.
-
Why convert between modem (33.6k) and SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)?
-
This helps compare and understand historical performance limits between legacy communication speeds and storage interface throughput for research and maintenance.
