Suitable for analyzing and comparing parallel SCSI interface speeds with modern standards.
-
Browser-based and easy to use with simple input and output selection.
Examples
-
2 SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) equals 640000000 bit/second.
-
0.5 SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) equals 160000000 bit/second.
Common Use Cases
-
Determining actual throughput for legacy parallel SCSI interfaces in enterprise storage systems.
-
Measuring data transfer capacity for high-speed backups using older SCSI tape libraries.
-
Assessing storage enclosure and disk array interface speeds in legacy IT infrastructure.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter to compare legacy SCSI speeds with modern network and communication rates.
-
Consider that SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) represents maximum practical throughput, so actual rates may differ.
-
Remember bit/second as a unit focuses on speed and does not reflect factors like bus width or protocol overhead.
Limitations
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) indicates a maximum practical interface speed rather than an exact SI unit.
-
Bit/second does not account for latency, bus width, or overhead present in parallel SCSI communications.
-
Actual device conditions can cause variations from the stated maximum throughput values.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) represent?
-
It is a legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode that provides higher data transfer speeds by combining a wider data bus with faster signalling.
-
Why convert SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) to bit/second?
-
Converting to bit/second helps quantify and compare the data transfer capacity of legacy SCSI interfaces using a universal standard unit.
-
Is bit/second an exact measure of SCSI throughput?
-
Bit/second measures data rate but does not capture bus width, latency, or protocol overhead that can affect actual throughput.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)
-
A legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode with a wider data bus and faster signalling for higher data throughput.
-
Bit per second (bit/s or b/s)
-
A unit measuring the number of binary digits transmitted or processed every second, fundamental for expressing data transfer rates.
