What Is This Tool?
This tool converts data transfer measurements from SCSI (Ultra-2) to ISDN (dual channel), assisting users in comparing storage interface speeds with telecommunication bandwidths.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value you wish to convert in SCSI (Ultra-2) units.
-
Select SCSI (Ultra-2) as the source and ISDN (dual channel) as the target unit.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent data transfer rate in ISDN (dual channel).
Key Features
-
Supports conversion between SCSI (Ultra-2) and ISDN (dual channel) units.
-
Provides a clear conversion formula based on defined data transfer rates.
-
Browser-based and simple to use with no installation required.
Examples
-
2 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals 10,000 ISDN (dual channel).
-
0.5 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals 2,500 ISDN (dual channel).
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing storage interface speeds to telecommunication bandwidths for system integration.
-
Planning remote LAN or backup links that involve mixed technology environments.
-
Understanding throughput equivalences for legacy systems in data center setups.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the context of your conversion to ensure appropriate application.
-
Remember this conversion translates between fundamentally different technologies.
-
Use the tool for approximate equivalences rather than precise performance measures.
Limitations
-
ISDN (dual channel) is a telecommunications rate descriptor, not a strict SI unit.
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) and ISDN dual channel operate in different technological domains.
-
Conversion does not account for physical layer overhead or signaling efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is SCSI (Ultra-2)?
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) is a parallel Small Computer System Interface standard that uses Low Voltage Differential signaling to enhance data transfer performance and cable length compared to earlier SCSI versions.
-
What does ISDN (dual channel) mean?
-
ISDN (dual channel) indicates the combined use of two 64 kbit/s B channels from an ISDN Basic Rate Interface to provide approximately 128 kbit/s data throughput.
-
Why convert between SCSI (Ultra-2) and ISDN (dual channel)?
-
Users convert to compare or translate data transfer rates from high-performance storage systems into telecommunications bandwidth units for integration and planning in mixed environments.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel data transfer standard employing Low Voltage Differential signaling for higher speed and longer cable distances in storage interfaces.
-
ISDN (dual channel)
-
A telecommunication data rate using two 64 kbit/s B channels combined to achieve around 128 kbit/s throughput.
-
Low Voltage Differential (LVD)
-
An electrical signaling method used in SCSI (Ultra-2) for improved performance and reduced noise.
