What does SCSI (Async) mean?

SCSI (Async) refers to the asynchronous data transfer mode of the SCSI protocol where data exchange uses request and acknowledge handshakes instead of a shared clock.

Why convert SCSI (Async) to bit/second?

Converting to bit/second helps quantify asynchronous SCSI device throughput in a standard data rate unit for easier benchmarking and comparison.

Is the conversion rate always exact?

No, the conversion rate is nominal and actual throughput can vary based on device response and bus conditions.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms values measured in SCSI (Async), an asynchronous data transfer mode of the SCSI protocol, into bit/second units. It helps quantify legacy SCSI device throughput using a universal measure of data transfer rate.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in SCSI (Async) units you wish to convert.
Select 'SCSI (Async)' as the source unit and 'bit/second [b/s]' as the target unit.
Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent data transfer rate in bit/second.

Key Features

Converts asynchronous SCSI transfer rates to bit/second (b/s).
Uses a fixed conversion rate of 1 SCSI (Async) = 12,000,000 bit/second.
Browser-based and simple to use with no installation required.
Provides clear examples illustrating conversion results.

Examples

1 SCSI (Async) converts to 12,000,000 bit/second.
0.5 SCSI (Async) converts to 6,000,000 bit/second.

Common Use Cases

Benchmarking throughput of legacy SCSI devices operating in asynchronous mode.
Troubleshooting SCSI bus timing and handshake compatibility issues.
Configuring or testing systems using asynchronous SCSI connections in embedded or retrocomputing environments.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the converter to express legacy device speed in universally recognized units.
Leverage the bit/second output for easier comparison with modern communication standards.
Understand that SCSI (Async) rates depend on device and bus conditions, so treat conversion results as nominal.

Limitations

The actual data rate may vary due to device response times and bus arbitration.
Asynchronous transfer efficiency is lower than synchronous modes, affecting accuracy of direct comparisons.
Conversion results represent nominal throughput and might not reflect real-time performance.
