What Is This Tool?
This converter helps users translate data transfer values between SCSI (Ultra-2), a parallel storage interface standard, and Ethernet, a set of standardized wired networking technologies. It assists in comparing the data rates of storage and network connections.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the data transfer value in SCSI (Ultra-2) units
-
Select SCSI (Ultra-2) as the input unit
-
Choose Ethernet as the output unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent Ethernet value
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer values from SCSI (Ultra-2) to Ethernet units
-
Based on a fixed conversion rate allowing easy comparison
-
Browser-based and easy to use for IT professionals
-
Supports understanding of legacy storage and modern network speeds
Examples
-
1 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals 64 Ethernet units
-
2 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals 128 Ethernet units
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing performance between parallel SCSI storage interfaces and Ethernet network links
-
Planning integration of legacy storage devices with modern network infrastructure
-
Designing data center storage networks incorporating both SCSI and Ethernet technologies
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use the conversion primarily to compare data transfer rates conceptually
-
Remember that Ethernet units represent link speed protocols, not exact data throughput
-
Consider network overhead and physical media when interpreting Ethernet values
-
Cross-check with actual device specifications for precise performance needs
Limitations
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) and Ethernet measure different interface types making direct equivalence approximate
-
Ethernet units reflect link speeds and not exact data transfer quantities
-
Practical throughput depends on protocols, overhead, and network environment
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does this converter compare?
-
It compares data transfer rates between SCSI (Ultra-2) storage interfaces and Ethernet network link speeds to facilitate understanding their relative performance.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel Small Computer System Interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling for higher data transfer and longer cables.
-
Ethernet
-
A family of standardized wired networking technologies specifying frame formats, link-layer behavior, and physical media for LANs.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted between devices or across networks.
