Ethernet is a networking protocol, not a direct unit of data transfer measurement
-
Conversion approximates maximum bandwidths and may not reflect actual throughput
-
Results depend on network conditions and specific hardware implementations
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (LVD Ultra80) represent?
-
It is a version of the Ultra2 SCSI interface using low voltage differential signaling, providing up to 80 megabytes per second transfer bandwidth on a 16-bit bus.
-
Is Ethernet a unit of measurement for data transfer?
-
No, Ethernet is a set of standards and protocols for networking rather than a direct unit of data transfer rate.
-
Why convert SCSI (LVD Ultra80) to Ethernet?
-
To compare and translate legacy storage bandwidth with common network transfer rates, aiding integration of older systems with modern infrastructures.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80)
-
A legacy high-speed storage interface variant using low voltage differential signaling to provide up to 80 MB/s bandwidth on a 16-bit wide bus.
-
Ethernet
-
A family of wired networking standards defining data framing, link-layer protocols, and physical media for local area networks.
-
Bandwidth
-
The amount of data that can be transferred over a connection in a given amount of time.
