Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify that the input values represent maximum sustained rates
-
Consider byte-to-bit scale differences when interpreting results
-
Use this conversion to aid integration of older storage with newer network systems
-
Apply conversions carefully during migration planning or performance analysis
-
Remember that instantaneous throughput may differ from sustained bandwidth
Limitations
-
Converts bytes per second (SCSI) to bits per second (Tb/s), requiring unit adjustments
-
Based on maximum sustained data rates, not accounting for throughput spikes or drops
-
Only applies to the specific SCSI (LVD Ultra160) and terabit per second units defined
-
Does not reflect performance characteristics beyond bandwidth metrics
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does the unit SCSI (LVD Ultra160) represent?
