What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps translate data transfer rates from SCSI (LVD Ultra160), a fast parallel SCSI standard used in storage and legacy servers, to modem (2400), which represents an early dial-up modem speed. It enables users to compare performance metrics across distinct data-transfer technologies.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the SCSI (LVD Ultra160) data transfer value you want to convert
-
Select 'SCSI (LVD Ultra160)' as the source unit
-
Choose 'modem (2400)' as the target unit
-
Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent data rate in modem (2400)
-
Review the converted value for comparison or analysis
Key Features

Examples
-
1 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) equals approximately 533,333 modem (2400)
-
0.5 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) converts to around 266,666.67 modem (2400)
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying maximum data-transfer rates for internal disk arrays and RAID controllers in legacy servers
-
Comparing throughput of parallel SCSI tape drives and backup systems
-
Assessing legacy storage bus bandwidth during migration or system compatibility planning
-
Understanding historic dial-up modem speeds in telecommunications history
-
Retro-computing projects involving modem emulation or legacy communications testing
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the converter to establish approximate equivalences between vastly different data-transfer technologies
-
Apply conversions mainly for conceptual or comparative analysis rather than precision measurement
-
Consider the legacy and modern context when interpreting results for migration or compatibility planning
-
Review examples to understand scale differences between units
-
Understand limitations related to different signaling methods and unit definitions
Limitations
-
modem (2400) denotes a nominal bit rate rather than exact throughput
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) measures byte-based bandwidth with advanced signaling techniques
-
Conversion is approximate and intended for conceptual comparison
-
Cannot replace detailed performance measurements in engineering contexts
-
Not suited for precise throughput calculations due to differing unit bases
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra160) measure?
-
It measures a channel bandwidth specification up to 160 megabytes per second for parallel SCSI interfaces using Low Voltage Differential signaling.
-
Why convert SCSI (LVD Ultra160) to modem (2400)?
-
To compare or translate high-performance storage interface speeds into legacy modem data rates for relative bandwidth understanding between modern and historic technologies.
-
Is the conversion exact?
-
No, the conversion is approximate and conceptual due to differences in units and signaling methods; modem (2400) is a nominal bit rate, while SCSI uses byte-based bandwidth.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling, providing up to 160 MB/s channel bandwidth for storage devices.
-
modem (2400)
-
A data-transfer rate equivalent to 2400 bits per second, typical of early dial-up modem standards, describing a nominal speed classification.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The amount of data transmitted per unit time, expressed here in megabytes per second or bits per second.
