What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps you translate data transfer measurements from SCSI (LVD Ultra80), a high-performance low voltage differential SCSI interface, to SCSI (Sync), which represents the synchronous transfer mode of the SCSI protocol. It is designed for users working with storage systems requiring accurate conversion between these two units.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (LVD Ultra80) units you want to convert
-
Select SCSI (LVD Ultra80) as your input unit and SCSI (Sync) as your output unit
-
Submit or click the convert button to get the corresponding value in SCSI (Sync)
-
Review the converted result based on the defined conversion formula
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer units from SCSI (LVD Ultra80) to SCSI (Sync)
-
Based on the exact conversion rate where 1 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) equals 16 SCSI (Sync)
-
Supports enterprise and legacy storage system applications
-
Browser-based and easy-to-use interface
-
Helps manage and negotiate transfer speeds between SCSI devices
Examples
-
1 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) equals 16 SCSI (Sync)
-
2 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) equals 32 SCSI (Sync)
Common Use Cases
-
Converting data transfer units in high-performance server disk arrays and RAID enclosures
-
Managing transfer speeds in enterprise tape backup drives and SAN-attached storage
-
Facilitating communication between multiple high-speed SCSI hard drives and legacy controllers
-
Negotiating synchronous transfer rates for storage arrays requiring deterministic latency
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure devices involved support negotiated synchronous timing parameters for accurate conversion
-
Consider hardware and cable limitations that can affect practical throughput beyond nominal rates
-
Use conversion results to optimize compatibility and performance in legacy and enterprise storage systems
-
Regularly verify against actual device specifications when managing transfer speeds
Limitations
-
Conversion assumes compatible synchronous timing negotiation between devices
-
Physical factors like cable length and legacy hardware constraints might influence real throughput
-
Differences in bus width and signal encoding can affect effective transfer rates beyond the conversion formula
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) convert to in SCSI (Sync)?
-
According to the converter, 1 SCSI (LVD Ultra80) is equivalent to 16 SCSI (Sync).
-
Can I use this conversion for legacy SCSI devices?
-

Does this tool account for physical cable or hardware limitations?
-
No, physical constraints like cable length or hardware capabilities may affect real-world transfer rates beyond this nominal conversion.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80)
-
A Low Voltage Differential variant of Ultra2 SCSI interface that delivers up to 80 MB/s on a 16-bit bus with 40 MHz synchronous transfers and improved noise immunity.
-
SCSI (Sync)
-
The synchronous transfer mode of SCSI where data transfer is coordinated by a negotiated clock, allowing higher throughput and predictable timing.
-
Negotiated Clock
-
A clock signal agreed upon by SCSI initiator and target devices to synchronize data transfer timing.
