What Is This Tool?
This converter translates data transfer measurements from the standardized SCSI (LVD Ultra80) interface into the vendor-specific E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) format. It helps interpret data rates within proprietary diagnostic and telemetry systems.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (LVD Ultra80) units you want to convert
-
Select SCSI (LVD Ultra80) as the source unit and E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) as the target unit
-
Initiate the conversion to see the corresponding E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) value
-
Use the results to interpret data within your vendor-specific diagnostic or telemetry systems

-
Supports legacy storage and networking equipment metrics
-
Browser-based and easy to use
-
Provides exact conversion based on vendor documentation
-
Ideal for telecom and networking diagnostic applications
Examples
-
2 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) equals approximately 151.5151515152 E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)
-
0.5 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) converts to about 37.8787878788 E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)
Common Use Cases
-
Analyzing high-performance server disk arrays with legacy SCSI interfaces
-
Diagnosing enterprise tape backup drives and SAN-attached storage
-
Monitoring proprietary signal metrics in telecom or networking equipment
-
Interpreting vendor-specific protocol performance counters
-
Converting data transfer values for internal test reports and configuration files
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you understand the proprietary definition of E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) used by your vendor
-
Use official vendor documentation to validate conversion context
-
Apply this tool primarily within legacy storage and networking diagnostic scenarios
-
Be cautious interpreting conversions due to the non-standard nature of E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)
-
Double-check converted values when used for critical performance analysis
Limitations
-
E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) is not a standardized unit and varies between vendors or projects
-
Conversion depends on proprietary vendor documentation, limiting universal applicability
-
Results may lack external validation outside the originating product context
-
Interoperability with other data transfer units is not guaranteed
-
Care is required to interpret results accurately due to proprietary unit definitions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra80) represent?
-
It is the Low Voltage Differential variant of the Ultra2 SCSI interface offering up to 80 megabytes per second raw bandwidth over a 16-bit bus with 40 MHz synchronous transfers.
-
Is E.P.T.A. 2 (signal) a standard unit?
-
No, it is not recognized as a standard unit and represents a vendor- or project-specific data transfer or signal metric.
-
Why convert SCSI (LVD Ultra80) to E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)?
-
To translate standardized data rates into proprietary signal metrics used within certain vendor diagnostic or telemetry systems for accurate interpretation.
-
Can I use this conversion for any data transfer calculations?
-
Due to the proprietary nature of E.P.T.A. 2 (signal), this conversion is mainly suitable for vendor-specific contexts and may not apply universally.
-
What should I consider when interpreting converted results?
-
Be aware that definitions may vary across vendors, and external validation might be lacking; always cross-reference with vendor documentation.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80)
-
A Low Voltage Differential version of the Ultra2 SCSI interface providing up to 80 MB/s raw transfer bandwidth using 40 MHz synchronous transfers on a 16-bit bus.
-
E.P.T.A. 2 (signal)
-
A vendor- or project-specific signal or data-transfer metric not standardized by SI or IEC, used in proprietary diagnostic or telemetry systems.
-
Low Voltage Differential (LVD)
-
An improved SCSI interface variant offering better cable length and noise immunity compared to single-ended SCSI.
