Comparing throughput of tape drives and older backup systems using parallel SCSI interfaces
Assessing bandwidth of legacy storage buses during migration and system compatibility planning
Planning upgrades and interoperability between legacy storage and modern optical networks
Network engineering and data center infrastructure involving storage and optical fiber communications

Tips & Best Practices

Always check the context of conversion as protocols and overheads differ between storage interfaces and optical networks
Use the conversion to estimate relative bandwidth instead of exact performance equivalencies
Consider protocol overheads and encoding schemes separately when planning real-world system capacity
Refer to multiple examples for better understanding of scale when converting values
Use this tool as part of broader network or storage infrastructure evaluation

Limitations

Conversion approximates bandwidth and does not account for protocol overheads or transmission overhead
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) measures sustained data-transfer throughput at the storage interface level
STM-64 (signal) reflects line rate including encoding overheads in optical transport networks
Direct performance equivalence between these units may vary in practical scenarios
