Tips & Best Practices
-
Understand the distinct technologies behind SCSI (Ultra-2) and OC768 before conversion
-
Use this conversion for data transfer rate comparison, not direct hardware interchangeability
-
Consider protocol overhead and latency separately when evaluating real-world performance
Limitations
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) and OC768 differ fundamentally in technology and use cases
-
Conversion only reflects data transfer rate equivalence, not device compatibility
-
Does not include factors such as protocol overhead, latency, or environmental influences
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does the conversion from SCSI (Ultra-2) to OC768 represent?
-
It represents the equivalent data transfer rate between a parallel SCSI interface commonly used in storage and a high-capacity optical transport used in telecommunications.
-
Can I use this conversion to directly interchange devices?
-
No, the conversion is only for understanding transfer rates and does not imply that the devices or protocols are compatible.

Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling to connect storage peripherals like disk arrays and tape drives.
-
OC768
-
An optical carrier level in SONET with a line speed near 39.8 Gbit/s, used in fiber-optic backbone and telecom transport networks.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
A measurement of the amount of data transmitted per unit of time, critical for evaluating performance across different interfaces.
