Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Fast Ultra) mean?
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra) combines Fast and Ultra extensions of the SCSI standard for increased device-to-host throughput and reduced transfer latency while maintaining compatibility with SCSI commands.
-
What is terabyte per second (TB/s)?
-
Terabyte per second (TB/s) quantifies data transfer rates equivalent to one trillion bytes per second, commonly used for high-bandwidth storage, interconnects, and network backbones.
-
Why convert SCSI (Fast Ultra) to TB/s?
-
Converting to TB/s helps express legacy device speeds in widely recognized units, simplifying comparisons and scaling in modern computing and storage environments.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Fast Ultra)
-
Parallel SCSI signaling modes that combine Fast and Ultra extensions to improve throughput and reduce latency while maintaining compatibility with SCSI commands.
-
Terabyte per second (TB/s)
-
A unit of data transfer rate equal to one trillion bytes transferred each second, commonly used for quantifying very high bandwidth links.
