What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert data transfer rates from Modem (56k), a dial-up communication standard, to SCSI (Ultra-3), a parallel storage interface standard. It assists users in comparing and benchmarking data transfer rates across different technologies.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in Modem (56k) units you want to convert
-
Select Modem (56k) as the input unit and SCSI (Ultra-3) as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent data transfer rate in SCSI (Ultra-3)
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer units between Modem (56k) and SCSI (Ultra-3)
-
Provides clear and simple conversion based on nominal maximum data rates
-
Useful for benchmarking and system integration tasks involving legacy and modern technologies
Examples
-
10 Modem (56k) equals 0.0004375 SCSI (Ultra-3)
-
1000 Modem (56k) equals 0.04375 SCSI (Ultra-3)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing data transfer rates between dial-up Internet connections and storage interfaces
-
Benchmarking throughput when integrating communication devices with storage systems
-
Understanding the performance characteristics of legacy and enterprise IT equipment
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter to conceptually relate data rates between different technologies
-
Consider the context of use, as the two units represent different kinds of data transfer
-
Keep in mind that actual speeds may differ due to hardware and network conditions
Limitations
-
Conversion reflects theoretical maximum data rates, not real-world speeds
-
Modem (56k) and SCSI (Ultra-3) serve different functions and are not directly interchangeable
-
Practical compatibility cannot be assumed from this numeric equivalence

Key Terminology
-
Modem (56k)
-
A dial-up modem standard using ITU V.90 or V.92 protocols for digital-to-analog data transmission over telephone lines with a maximum of about 56 kilobits per second downstream.
-
SCSI (Ultra-3)
-
A parallel storage interface standard for block-level data transfers between hosts and storage devices, denoting a specific revision within the SCSI family.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device to another, measured in units like Modem (56k) or SCSI (Ultra-3).
