Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is SCSI (LVD Ultra80)?
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80) is a legacy SCSI interface with 80 MB/s raw transfer bandwidth using a 16-bit wide bus and 40 MHz synchronous transfers, optimized for noise immunity and cable length.
-
What does terabyte/second (SI def.) represent?
-
Terabyte per second (SI definition) is a data transfer rate unit equal to 10^12 bytes per second, or 8 terabits per second, used for measuring high throughput digital systems.
-
Why convert SCSI (LVD Ultra80) to terabyte/second?
-
To compare legacy SCSI transfer speeds with modern high-speed data rates for performance benchmarking and infrastructure planning.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra80)
-
A Low Voltage Differential variant of Ultra2 SCSI providing up to 80 MB/s raw transfer bandwidth over a 16-bit wide bus at 40 MHz.
-
Terabyte/second (SI def.)
-
A unit of data transfer rate equal to one trillion bytes per second, commonly used to measure bandwidth in high-performance digital systems.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The amount of data moved from one place to another in a given unit of time, often measured in bytes or bits per second.
