What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms data transfer values between SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide), a legacy parallel storage interface, and STM-64 (signal), a modern synchronous optical transport signal. It helps users compare and translate data rates between older storage controllers and current high-capacity fiber network standards.

Examples
-
5 SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) converts to approximately 0.160751029 STM-64 (signal)
-
10 SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) converts to approximately 0.321502058 STM-64 (signal)
Common Use Cases
-
Converting legacy storage interface speeds to modern optical transport rates during data center migrations
-
Planning telecommunications network upgrades involving SDH and legacy SCSI systems
-
Integrating storage arrays with carrier-grade optical communication infrastructures
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm the context of the interfaces before converting to ensure relevance
-
Use the conversion for planning and comparison rather than precise throughput guarantees
-
Factor in potential protocol overhead and environmental effects on actual performance
Limitations
-
Conversion reflects interface capability, not exact SI unit measurements
-
Performance may vary due to protocol differences and network conditions
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) is largely outdated and replaced by serial interfaces, limiting applicability
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) represent?
-
It is a legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface mode with a wide data bus and faster signalling used for connecting storage devices in older systems.
-
What is STM-64 (signal)?
-
STM-64 is a synchronous optical transport signal in the SDH hierarchy with an approximate data rate of 10 Gbit/s, used in high-capacity fiber networks.
-
Why convert between SCSI (Fast Ultra Wide) and STM-64 (signal)?
-
To understand and translate data transfer capabilities between legacy storage interfaces and modern optical transport signals for network planning and integration.
