-
Direct interoperability requires specialized hardware beyond simple conversion.
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 MB/s on a 16-bit bus with 40 MHz synchronous transfers.
-
How is a terabit per second (SI def.) defined?
-
A terabit per second (SI definition) is a data transfer rate equal to 10^12 bits transmitted every second.
-
Why convert SCSI (LVD Ultra80) to terabit/second?
-
To compare legacy hardware data rates with modern high-speed network capacities and assist in infrastructure planning.
