What Is This Tool?
This converter helps translate data transfer speeds from the SCSI (Ultra-3) storage interface standard to the modem (300) rate, a historic analog modem speed. It assists users in comparing modern high-speed storage data rates with vintage low-speed modem connections.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (Ultra-3) units you want to convert
-
Select SCSI (Ultra-3) as the source unit and modem (300) as the target unit
-
Click the convert button to see the corresponding modem (300) value
-
Review the displayed result for benchmarking or documentation needs
Key Features
-
Converts between the SCSI (Ultra-3) storage interface and modem (300) communication rate
-
Useful for legacy system and telecommunications historical analysis
-
Allows benchmarking of data transfer speeds across different technology eras
-
Easy, browser-based conversion interface
-
Supports precise numeric input for accurate unit comparisons
Examples
-
2 SCSI (Ultra-3) equals approximately 8,533,333.33 modem (300)
-
0.5 SCSI (Ultra-3) converts to around 2,133,333.33 modem (300)
-
1 SCSI (Ultra-3) corresponds to about 4,266,666.67 modem (300)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing data transfer rates between high-speed storage buses and early modem speeds
-
Performing historical performance analysis of communication equipment
-
Supporting maintenance of legacy IT and telecommunications systems
-
Benchmarking storage subsystem throughput in research or diagnostic tasks
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter primarily for illustrative or comparative purposes due to the vast technology differences
-
Ensure input values are accurate to maintain meaningful conversion results
-
Refer to this tool for documentation of legacy and modern system speed benchmarks
-
Avoid using the conversion for practical data transfer equivalency as the units differ fundamentally
Limitations
-
Represents vastly different technologies and time periods
-
SCSI (Ultra-3) is a modern parallel storage bus with very high throughput
-
Modem (300) reflects an early, very low baud-rate serial link
-
Conversions are theoretical and not meant for real data transfer equivalency
-
Not suitable for practical communication speed conversion tasks
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Ultra-3) stand for?
-
SCSI (Ultra-3) is a version of the Small Computer System Interface standard used for fast parallel data transfers between hosts and storage devices.
-
What is modem (300) used for?
-
Modem (300) refers to an early analog dial-up modem speed of 300 bits per second, commonly associated with vintage communications and low-rate control links.
-
Can I use this converter for actual data transfers?
-
No, the conversion is primarily for comparison and benchmarking due to the fundamentally different technologies and speeds.
-
Why convert between such different units?
-
Users convert to compare or benchmark storage interface speeds against historical modem speeds for legacy system analysis or documentation purposes.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-3)
-
A parallel storage bus interface specifying signaling and communication protocols for high-speed data transfer between hosts and devices.
-
Modem (300)
-
An early analog modem speed of 300 bits per second used in low-rate serial connections and vintage dial-up communications.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is transmitted from one device or interface to another, usually measured in bits per second or similar units.
