-
Use conversion results as a theoretical maximum for performance estimates
-
Combine conversion with knowledge of actual hardware capabilities for planning
-
Consider legacy interface limitations such as cable quality affecting throughput
Limitations
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) represents legacy hardware with varying throughput levels
-
Conversion reflects peak or theoretical maximum transfer rates, not actual speeds
-
The GB unit definition used (decimal vs binary) should be confirmed for precision
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) represent?
-
It is a legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode combining a wider data bus with faster signalling to achieve higher transfer rates than earlier SCSI versions.
-
Why convert SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) to gigabyte per second?
-
Converting to GB/s allows comparison of legacy storage interface speeds with modern storage and network data rates for better system planning.
-
Does this conversion reflect actual data transfer speeds?
-
No, it shows theoretical peak maximum rates; actual throughput may vary depending on hardware and conditions.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)
-
A legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode utilizing a wider data bus and faster signalling for improved data transfer rates.
-
Gigabyte per second (GB/s)
-
A unit expressing the rate of data transfer where one gigabyte of data is transferred each second, commonly used to measure storage or memory bandwidth.
