What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate data transfer rates measured in SCSI (LVD Ultra160), a parallel SCSI interface standard, into T3Z (payload), a unit representing application-level data payload within T3Z-based systems. It helps relate hardware interface speeds to payload throughput for engineering and planning purposes.

Examples
-
Converting 1 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) results in approximately 29.76 T3Z (payload)
-
Converting 5 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) gives about 148.81 T3Z (payload)
-
Use these conversions for comparing interface bandwidth with application payload sizes
Common Use Cases
-
Evaluating maximum data-transfer rates for internal disk arrays and RAID controllers in legacy servers
-
Comparing throughput of devices like tape drives that use parallel SCSI interfaces
-
Assessing storage bus bandwidth during migration or system compatibility planning
-
Measuring average payload size and throughput in T3Z-based telemetry systems
-
Optimizing payload efficiency in T3Z communication protocol implementations
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the context-specific definition of T3Z (payload) for your system
-
Use the conversion for planning and analysis rather than exact operational throughput
-
Account for protocol overhead when interpreting payload throughput measurements
-
Combine this tool with other storage and network performance metrics for comprehensive analysis
Limitations
-
T3Z (payload) is context-specific and not defined universally in SI units
-
Conversion depends on the system-specific meaning of a T3Z payload
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) measures maximum bandwidth under ideal conditions, which may differ from real sustained throughput
-
Results should be used primarily for estimation and engineering assessment
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra160) measure?
-
It measures the maximum sustained data-transfer bandwidth between a host adapter and SCSI storage devices using Low Voltage Differential signalling.
-
What is T3Z (payload) used for?
-
T3Z (payload) quantifies the application-level user data carried in a message or transfer interval within a T3Z system, helping in capacity planning and performance evaluation.
-
Is the conversion between SCSI (LVD Ultra160) and T3Z (payload) exact?
-
No, because T3Z (payload) is context-specific and SCSI (LVD Ultra160) reflects ideal maximum bandwidth, so the conversion is an estimate for engineering use.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling with bandwidth up to 160 MB/s, representing maximum transfer rate between host adapters and SCSI storage devices.
-
T3Z (payload)
-
A context-specific unit that quantifies application-level user data carried in a single message or frame within a T3Z system, used for payload size and throughput measurement.
-
Conversion Rate
-
The relationship between units specifying that 1 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) equals approximately 29.7619 T3Z (payload), facilitating translation between hardware bandwidth and telemetry payload.
