Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is SCSI (LVD Ultra80)?
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80) is a Low Voltage Differential version of the Ultra2 SCSI interface, providing up to 80 megabytes per second on a 16-bit bus with enhanced cable length and reduced noise.
-
What does megabit per second [Mb/s] measure?
-
Megabit per second quantifies the rate of data transfer as one million bits per second, commonly used for network and telecommunication bandwidths.
-
Why convert SCSI (LVD Ultra80) speeds to Mb/s?
-
Conversion helps in comparing legacy SCSI raw transfer rates with modern networking speeds expressed in bits per second for performance evaluation.
