Ideal for IT professionals managing vintage and legacy systems
Examples
-
10 Modem (33.6k) equals 0.0002625 SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
100 Modem (33.6k) converts to 0.002625 SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
Common Use Cases
-
Estimating download/upload times on legacy dial-up connections
-
Documenting and comparing historical internet speeds and bandwidth
-
Testing vintage network equipment performance
-
Specifying storage bus throughput in legacy server environments
-
Planning migrations involving legacy storage and network systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that the converter relates fundamentally different technologies
-
Use conversion results for comparison or documentation, not precise performance metrics
-
Consider the legacy context for accurate interpretation of values
-
Keep in mind the theoretical nature of SCSI bandwidth ratings
Limitations
-
Conversion links network modem speeds with storage interface bandwidths, which differ conceptually
-
Results do not reflect actual throughput affected by protocols or device specifics
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) denotes maximum theoretical bandwidth, not sustained speed
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert Modem (33.6k) to SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
This conversion assists in comparing legacy dial-up transfer rates with higher-speed storage bus throughput for analysis and documentation purposes.
-
Does this converter reflect actual transfer speeds?
-
No, it calculates equivalent theoretical values and does not consider real-world factors like latency or protocol overhead.
-
What fields benefit from this conversion?
-
Areas such as legacy network management, retro computing, IT migration planning, and archival system evaluation find this conversion useful.
Key Terminology
-
Modem (33.6k)
-
A data transfer speed of about 33.6 kbps typical for V.34-class dial-up modems over analog telephone lines.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling, providing up to 160 MB/s bandwidth for storage devices.
