Common Use Cases
-
Connecting and assessing performance of older servers and workstations using parallel SCSI
-
Measuring data transfer speeds for high-throughput backups to tape libraries
-
Converting legacy SCSI interface speeds into standardized network throughput values for system integration

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure the input value represents the interface's maximum practical throughput
-
Use the conversion result to compare legacy SCSI speeds with modern networking units
-
Remember the kilobit/second unit reflects idealized transfer rates without protocol overhead
-
Apply conversions to assist in legacy system documentation and performance evaluation
Limitations
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) indicates interface capability, not a precise SI unit
-
Actual data rates may vary due to hardware characteristics and operational conditions
-
Kilobit/second (SI def.) unit does not include protocol overhead or real-world performance factors
-
Conversion is useful for comparison but may not reflect exact transfer speeds in all scenarios
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) represent?
-
It defines a legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode with wider data bus and faster signalling than earlier SCSI variants, describing interface transfer capability.
-
Why convert to kilobit/second (SI def.)?
-
Converting to kilobit/second (SI def.) allows comparison of legacy SCSI speeds with standard network data rates for easier analysis and reporting.
-
Does this conversion include actual hardware performance?
-
No, the conversion represents the theoretical maximum interface throughput; actual rates depend on hardware and conditions.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide)
-
A legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode with wider data bus and faster signalling, describing the transfer capability of that variant.
-
Kilobit/second (SI def.)
-
A data transfer rate unit equal to 1,000 bits per second, commonly used in networking and communication throughput measurements.
