What Is This Tool?
This converter enables the transformation of data transfer rate values from SCSI (Ultra-2), a high-speed parallel storage interface, to ISDN (single channel), a telecommunications channel capacity unit. It helps users compare and analyze different data transfer technologies by providing a clear numerical conversion.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value you want to convert in the SCSI (Ultra-2) field
-
Select SCSI (Ultra-2) as the input unit and ISDN (single channel) as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the equivalent ISDN channel value
-
Use the results for network planning, benchmarking, or documentation
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer rates from SCSI (Ultra-2) to ISDN (single channel)
-
Browser-based and simple to use without installation
-
Provides clear numerical conversion using established rates
-
Supports users in networking, storage, and telecom environments
-
Ideal for legacy system documentation and performance comparison
Examples
-
1 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals 10,000 ISDN (single channel)
-
0.5 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals 5,000 ISDN (single channel)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing data transfer rates of high-performance storage with telecommunication channel capacities
-
Planning enterprise storage networking and telecom provisioning
-
Documenting legacy equipment speeds in data centers and network diagrams
-
Integrating legacy high-speed workstations with telephony channel metrics
-
Benchmarking performance across storage and telecom systems
Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand that this conversion offers a conceptual comparison, not an exact practical equivalence
-
Use the tool to assist in network and storage infrastructure planning
-
Keep in mind the fundamental difference in purpose between storage interfaces and telecom channels
-
Document conversions clearly when used for legacy or mixed-technology environments
-
Combine multiple ISDN channels logically when comparing to SCSI bandwidth
Limitations
-
Conversion is based on nominal speeds without accounting for overhead or practical throughput
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) and ISDN have fundamentally different purposes, so direct interchangeability is not practical
-
This tool is intended for comparison and benchmarking rather than direct application
-
Real-world performance can vary significantly from the nominal conversion rates
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 SCSI (Ultra-2) convert to in ISDN (single channel)?
-
1 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals 10,000 ISDN (single channel) based on nominal speed rates.
-
Can I use this tool to convert storage interface speeds directly into telecom channel capacity?
-
Yes, the tool provides a conceptual conversion to compare data transfer rates, but the technologies serve different purposes.
-
Does this conversion account for real-world data throughput?
-
No, the conversion is based on nominal speeds and does not consider protocol overhead or actual throughput variations.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel Small Computer System Interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling for high-speed block storage connectivity.
-
ISDN (single channel)
-
One ISDN bearer channel with a fixed data rate of 64 kbit/s, used in digital telephony and network provisioning.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device or interface to another.
