What Is This Tool?
This unit converter translates data transfer measurements from SCSI (Fast Wide), a legacy high-throughput storage interface, into ISDN (dual channel), a telecommunications data transfer configuration. It helps users compare and understand throughput across different technologies.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the amount of data transfer rate in SCSI (Fast Wide) units.
-
Select the target unit as ISDN (dual channel).
-
Click convert to get the equivalent rate in ISDN (dual channel) units.
-
Use the results to compare throughput for system design or performance analysis.
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer rates from SCSI (Fast Wide) to ISDN (dual channel).
-
Reflects standardized conversion rate based on theoretical maximum throughputs.
-
Supports comparisons between storage interface and telecommunication channel speeds.
-
Browser-based and easy to use for professionals dealing with legacy and telecom systems.
Examples
-
1 SCSI (Fast Wide) equals 1250 ISDN (dual channel).
-
2 SCSI (Fast Wide) units convert to 2500 ISDN (dual channel).
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing legacy storage throughput with modern telecommunication data rates.
-
Planning upgrades or integrations between storage systems and network infrastructure.
-
Evaluating performance in environments combining data centers and telecom services.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Keep in mind that the conversion reflects theoretical maximum rates, which may differ in practice.
-
Consider implementation factors like signal quality and hardware when assessing real speeds.
-
Use the converter to assist with high-level comparisons rather than precise speed measurements.
Limitations
-
Conversion is based on theoretical maximum throughputs and ignores practical constraints like cable length and protocol overhead.
-
ISDN (dual channel) throughput depends on telecommunication infrastructure and service availability, which can vary regionally.
-
Actual SCSI (Fast Wide) performance may be lower due to implementation differences.
Frequently Asked Questions

Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Fast Wide)
-
A SCSI-2 interface mode combining Fast timing and a 16-bit data bus, providing theoretical maximum throughput of 20 MB/s for a 16-bit single-ended implementation.
-
ISDN (dual channel)
-
A telecommunication configuration using two 64 kbit/s B channels bonded in parallel to reach about 128 kbit/s throughput at the service level.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device or medium to another, measured in units like megabytes per second or kilobits per second.
