What Is This Tool?
This converter allows users to translate data transfer rates between SCSI (Ultra-2), a fast parallel interface standard for storage devices, and modem (300), a historical low-speed modem data rate. It's useful for understanding differences between contemporary and legacy communication speeds.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the amount in SCSI (Ultra-2) units you wish to convert
-
Select the target unit as modem (300)
-
Click convert to view the equivalent value
-
Use the results to compare data transfer speeds effectively
Key Features
-

-
Displays nominal rate equivalents for easy comparison
-
Supports understanding of historical and modern data communication
-
Ideal for IT, archival, and educational purposes
-
Browser-based and user-friendly interface
Examples
-
1 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals approximately 2,133,333.33 modem (300)
-
0.5 SCSI (Ultra-2) equals approximately 1,066,666.67 modem (300)
Common Use Cases
-
Benchmarking modern storage interfaces against historical modem speeds
-
Educational comparisons of communication technology evolution
-
Documenting IT infrastructure and vintage computing setups
-
Analyzing data-center archival records involving different interface standards
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this tool for nominal comparisons rather than practical applications
-
Refer to the converter for historical or educational insights
-
Validate results by understanding the vastly different technology contexts
-
Apply conversions mainly for legacy equipment documentation or telecommunications studies
Limitations
-
Conversion is nominal since these units reflect vastly different technologies
-
Modem (300) speeds are outdated and not suited for current data transfer needs
-
Results are mostly for comparison or historical reference, not for practical use
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Ultra-2) represent?
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) is a parallel Small Computer System Interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling, designed for high-performance data transfer in storage and peripheral devices.
-
Why convert from SCSI (Ultra-2) to modem (300)?
-
Users convert to understand differences between a modern high-speed interface and a historical low-speed modem standard for benchmarking or educational purposes.
-
Is modem (300) still used today?
-
Modem (300) rates are mostly historical, representing early analog dial-up speeds and are no longer practical for modern data transfer.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel data interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling for high-speed data transfer in storage and peripherals.
-
Modem (300)
-
A data transfer rate of 300 bits per second from early analog dial-up modem technology, used mainly for historical or nominal referencing.
-
Low Voltage Differential (LVD) signaling
-
An electrical signaling technique used in SCSI (Ultra-2) to enhance data transfer performance and cable length.
