Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that actual SCSI throughput may vary due to hardware factors
-
Use this conversion as a theoretical guide for data rate comparison
-
Consider protocol overhead and real-world conditions separately from the conversion
-
Apply conversions carefully in network design and performance evaluations
Limitations
-
SCSI (Fast Wide) throughput may differ from practical speeds due to implementation details
-
Conversion does not incorporate protocol overhead or error correction effects
-
T3 (signal) rates are fixed standards, but effective data rates can vary with use
-
Results are theoretical and should be supplemented with real-world measurements
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Fast Wide) represent?
-
SCSI (Fast Wide) is a SCSI-2 mode combining 10 MHz Fast timing with a 16-bit wide data bus, providing a maximum theoretical throughput of 20 MB/s.
-
What is T3 (signal) used for?
-
T3 (signal), or DS3, is a digital transmission format carrying multiplexed voice and data at 44.736 megabits per second, used in high-capacity lines and carrier networks.
-
Can I rely on this converter for exact real-world data rates?
-
This converter provides a theoretical rate conversion and does not reflect real-world transmission variables such as hardware limitations and protocol overhead.
