What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms data transfer rates measured in SCSI (Fast Wide), an older SCSI-2 interface standard, into terabyte per second (TB/s), a unit representing extremely high data throughput commonly used in modern computing and networking.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value measured in SCSI (Fast Wide) units.
-
Select the source unit as SCSI (Fast Wide).

Examples
-
20 SCSI (Fast Wide) equals 0.000363798 terabytes per second.
-
100 SCSI (Fast Wide) equals 0.00181899 terabytes per second.
Common Use Cases
-
Converting legacy SCSI (Fast Wide) rates to modern high-capacity units for system upgrades.
-
Benchmarking and comparing data transfer speeds between older hardware and current infrastructure.
-
Integrating historical data transfer metrics into contemporary storage and network performance analyses.
-
Evaluating aggregate bandwidth in scientific and high-performance computing environments.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the implementation details when assessing SCSI (Fast Wide) throughput due to practical variations.
-
Be aware that TB/s values will be very small decimals since TB/s is a much larger unit than SCSI (Fast Wide).
-
Consider differences between decimal terabytes (SI) and binary tebibytes (TiB) in relevant computing applications.
Limitations
-
SCSI (Fast Wide) maximum rates are theoretical and may not reflect actual throughput due to hardware factors.
-
Converted values can be very small decimals because terabyte per second is a significantly larger unit.
-
The distinction between decimal terabytes and binary tebibytes can affect interpretation in certain contexts.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is SCSI (Fast Wide)?
-
SCSI (Fast Wide) is a SCSI-2 interface mode combining 10 MHz timing with a 16-bit data bus, yielding a theoretical maximum throughput of 20 megabytes per second.
-
Why convert SCSI (Fast Wide) to terabyte per second?
-
Converting to terabyte per second allows legacy data transfer rates to be expressed in a modern, high-capacity standard useful for comparing and integrating with current high-performance storage and networks.
-
Does the converter consider real-world hardware limitations?
-
While the theoretical conversion rate is provided, actual SCSI (Fast Wide) throughput may vary due to factors like cable length, signal integrity, and device negotiation.
