What Is This Tool?
This converter helps you translate data transfer rates from SCSI (LVD Ultra160), a parallel SCSI interface bandwidth measure, into SCSI (Sync), which represents synchronous data transfer based on negotiated clock parameters. It assists in comparing performance metrics and planning legacy storage configurations.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (LVD Ultra160) you want to convert.
-
Select SCSI (LVD Ultra160) as the source unit and SCSI (Sync) as the target unit.
-
Use the conversion formula or automatic conversion function to get the result.
-
Review the converted value to assist with storage system analysis or device compatibility.
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer units between SCSI (LVD Ultra160) and SCSI (Sync).
-
Supports legacy storage interface bandwidth translation.
-
Provides clear unit definitions and practical examples.
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick conversions.
Examples
-
1 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) equals 32 SCSI (Sync).
-
2 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) corresponds to 64 SCSI (Sync).
Common Use Cases
-
Specifying bandwidth for internal disk arrays and RAID controllers in legacy servers.
-
Comparing throughput of parallel SCSI tape drives and backup systems.
-
Assessing storage bus bandwidth during system migrations involving SCSI technology.
-
Negotiating transfer speeds for legacy SCSI devices using synchronous modes.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure devices support the respective SCSI modes before relying on converted values.
-
Use this tool to clarify performance expectations in legacy storage environments.
-
Combine converted data with device documentation for accurate planning.
-
Remember that conversion assumes compatible bandwidth interpretation across protocols.
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes uniform interpretation of bandwidth and synchronous parameters.
-
Does not consider protocol overhead or differences in implementation efficiency.
-
Device capabilities and protocol versions may affect actual compatibility.
-
Only applies to specified SCSI units; other units are not supported.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra160) measure?
-
It measures the maximum sustained data-transfer rate of a parallel SCSI interface using Low Voltage Differential signalling, up to 160 MB/s.
-
How is SCSI (Sync) different from SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
SCSI (Sync) represents synchronous data transfer synchronized by a negotiated clock, enabling deterministic timing and configurable data rates, unlike the fixed bandwidth specification of SCSI (LVD Ultra160).
-
Why would I need to convert between these units?
-
Conversion helps translate bandwidth specs into synchronous transfer units for performance comparison, device compatibility assessment, and legacy storage system planning.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling with a maximum bandwidth of 160 MB/s.
-
SCSI (Sync)
-
The synchronous transfer mode of SCSI where data is transferred in step with a negotiated clock to achieve deterministic throughput.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The factor relating units where 1 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) equals 32 SCSI (Sync).
