What Is This Tool?
This tool converts data transfer rates from SCSI (LVD Ultra80), a high-speed enterprise storage interface, into modem (9600), a classic low-bandwidth dial-up modem rate. It helps relate modern storage speeds to legacy serial communication rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the data transfer value in SCSI (LVD Ultra80) units
-
Select 'SCSI (LVD Ultra80)' as the from-unit and 'modem (9600)' as the to-unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in modem (9600)
-
Use the results to compare or document different data transfer rates
Key Features
-
Supports conversion from SCSI (LVD Ultra80) to modem (9600) data rates
-
Easy-to-use online interface suitable for IT and telecommunications professionals
-
Provides numerical equivalence between high-speed and low-speed data transfer units
-
Includes examples for quick reference
-
Helps with legacy system integration and documentation
Examples
-
Convert 2 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) to modem (9600) to get 133,333.33 modem (9600)
-
Convert 0.5 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) to modem (9600) to get 33,333.33 modem (9600)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing data transfer speeds between high-performance storage and low-bandwidth modem links
-
Documenting data transfer rates for legacy telecommunications equipment
-
Assessing compatibility between modern SCSI storage devices and older serial communication systems
-
Archival records management for IT infrastructure involving legacy systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Consider the vastly different application domains of these units when interpreting results
-
Use the converter to support legacy system maintenance and integration projects
-
Refer to examples for understanding scale differences
-
Understand that this tool provides numerical equivalence rather than performance comparison
Limitations
-
Conversion covers units with very different bandwidth scales and technological contexts
-
Numerical equivalence may not reflect real-world performance or compatibility
-
Not suitable for detailed performance benchmarking
-
Only useful for comparative documentation or educational purposes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is SCSI (LVD Ultra80)?
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80) is a Low Voltage Differential variant of the Ultra2 SCSI interface providing up to 80 megabytes per second using a 16-bit wide bus and 40 MHz synchronous transfers.
-
What does modem (9600) represent?
-
Modem (9600) denotes a data transfer rate of 9,600 bits per second, commonly used to characterize classic dial-up modems, serial, and telephony-based data links.
-
Why convert between these two units?
-
Users convert from SCSI (LVD Ultra80) to modem (9600) to relate high-speed enterprise storage transfer rates to older low-bandwidth serial communication rates, assisting in legacy system documentation and integration.
