Common Use Cases
-
Translating legacy parallel data transfer rates into modern optical transmission equivalents
-
Comparing storage device throughput to fiber optic network speeds in enterprise environments
-
Planning network upgrades that integrate legacy SCSI systems with OC48-based fiber networks
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify the context of data transfer rates as SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) speeds may vary by implementation
-
Use the tool to aid in legacy system modernization and capacity planning
-
Consider network protocol overheads separately as the conversion relates to raw data transfer rates
Limitations
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) data rates are practical maximums, not fixed standards and can vary
-
OC48 values represent standardized optical transmission rates and assume ideal conditions
-
Conversion does not include overheads, error correction, or protocol differences between interfaces
