What Is This Tool?
This tool converts data transfer rates from SCSI (Ultra-2), a high-performance parallel interface standard for storage devices, to kilobyte per second (SI definition), a unit expressing data transmitted in thousands of bytes each second.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (Ultra-2) units you want to convert
-
Select the target unit as kilobyte/second (SI definition)
-
Click convert to see the equivalent transfer rate expressed in kilobyte/second
Key Features
-
Converts data transfer rates from SCSI (Ultra-2) to kilobyte/second using the SI definition
-
Supports conversions useful in enterprise storage and legacy system environments
-
Browser-based and easy to use for accurate rate interpretation
-
Helps express complex SCSI (Ultra-2) rates in familiar standard units
Examples
-
Converting 2 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals 160000 kilobyte/second (SI def.)
-
Converting 0.5 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals 40000 kilobyte/second (SI def.)
Common Use Cases
-
Connecting enterprise disk arrays and RAID controllers to servers
-
Interfacing tape backup drives and removable-media libraries in data centers
-
Benchmarking storage throughput in IT environments using parallel SCSI peripherals
-
Reporting file transfer speeds in web or application contexts with standard SI units
-
Specifying throughput for embedded devices or serial links transmitting bytes per second
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure that conversion aligns with your context, especially enterprise or legacy systems
-
Remember that kilobyte/second here uses SI units (1000 bytes), distinct from binary units
-
Use appropriate units to avoid confusion with very large SCSI (Ultra-2) transfer values
-
Cross-check converted values when comparing with other measurement systems
Limitations
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) transfer rates can be much larger than typical kilobyte/second values used in consumer settings
-
Kilobyte/second (SI) differs from binary-based units, which may affect compatibility with some systems
-
Care should be taken to avoid misinterpretation due to differences in unit definitions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Ultra-2) represent?
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) is a parallel Small Computer System Interface standard that uses Low Voltage Differential signaling to offer higher data transfer rates and longer cable lengths than earlier SCSI versions.
-
How is a kilobyte per second (SI def.) defined?
-
A kilobyte per second in SI terms is a data rate representing 1000 bytes transferred each second, different from the binary kilobyte which equals 1024 bytes.
-
Why convert from SCSI (Ultra-2) to kilobyte/second (SI def.)?
-
The conversion helps express high-performance parallel SCSI transfer rates in commonly understood SI units for easier interpretation and comparison.
