What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to translate data-transfer rates measured in SCSI (LVD Ultra160), a legacy parallel SCSI interface standard, into the proprietary E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) unit. It aids in mapping standard bandwidth values into vendor-specific signal metrics used in specialized diagnostic and monitoring environments.

-
0.5 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) converts to approximately 75.76 E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying maximum data-transfer rates for internal disk arrays and RAID controllers in legacy servers
-
Comparing throughput of tape drives and backup systems using parallel SCSI interfaces
-
Interpreting proprietary signal metrics in vendor-specific telecom or network equipment logs
-
Monitoring performance counters or telemetry fields in custom hardware products
-
Planning system compatibility and hardware migration involving legacy storage interfaces
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify that your conversion context matches the vendor-defined system using E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)
-
Use conversion results to correlate legacy bandwidth metrics with proprietary performance indicators
-
Consult originating documentation to understand the exact meaning of E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)
-
Avoid applying conversions outside the intended proprietary environment
-
Combine this conversion with diagnostic data for thorough system analysis
Limitations
-
E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) is a vendor-specific metric without a universal standard definition
-
Conversions only apply meaningfully within the originating proprietary system
-
Accuracy depends on proprietary documentation and context
-
Cannot be generalized for broader metrology or standard data transfer units
-
Use with caution outside specialized telecom or network equipment diagnostics
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra160) represent?
-
It is a parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling that specifies a maximum sustained data transfer bandwidth of up to 160 MB/s.
-
Is E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) a standard data transfer unit?
-
No, E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) is a vendor-specific label without recognition in standard data transfer or metrology standards.
-
Why convert SCSI (LVD Ultra160) units to E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)?
-
To translate legacy parallel SCSI bandwidth values into proprietary signal metrics used in vendor diagnostic and performance monitoring tools.
Key Terminology
