What Is This Tool?
This tool converts data transfer rates from SCSI (Ultra-3), a parallel storage interface standard used in legacy servers and data centers, to modem (33.6k), which represents dial‑up modem speeds typical of vintage internet connections. It provides a practical comparison of modern storage interface speeds against legacy modem rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (Ultra-3) units that you want to convert
-
Select 'modem (33.6k)' as the target unit
-
Click convert to see the equivalent data transfer rate in modem (33.6k)
-
Use the results to understand or compare legacy and modern data transfer speeds
Key Features
-
Converts from SCSI (Ultra-3) data transfer rates to modem (33.6k) speeds
-
Helpful for comparing high-speed enterprise storage interfaces with slower dial-up modem speeds
-
Useful in engineering, IT, and data center backup contexts
-
Browser-based and easy to use
Examples
-
1 SCSI (Ultra-3) equals 38095.24 modem (33.6k)
-
0.5 SCSI (Ultra-3) equals 19047.62 modem (33.6k)
Common Use Cases
-
Benchmarking and specifying storage subsystem data transfer speeds
-
Relating enterprise storage rates to legacy dial-up modem speeds
-
Testing or documenting vintage networking equipment performance
-
Comparing historical internet link bandwidth limitations
Tips & Best Practices
-
Use conversions mainly for illustrative or comparative purposes due to the large speed differences
-
Consider context differences when comparing storage interface speeds to modem speeds
-
Be aware that modem speeds are theoretical maximums and may vary in real use
-
Apply conversions for legacy system design, diagnostics, or educational explanations
Limitations
-
Conversion results represent large multiples because of the significant speed gap
-
Modem (33.6k) speeds are maximum theoretical values and can differ based on line quality
-
SCSI (Ultra-3) rates apply specifically to parallel storage interfaces and may not directly match network speeds without further context
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Ultra-3) represent in data transfer?
-
SCSI (Ultra-3) is a generation of the Small Computer System Interface standard that governs parallel data transfers for storage devices, commonly used in legacy enterprise and data center applications.
-
What is modem (33.6k) speed used for?
-
Modem (33.6k) refers to the approximate maximum data transfer speed of V.34-class dial-up modems over analog phone lines, often used for legacy internet connections.
-
Why convert between SCSI (Ultra-3) and modem (33.6k)?
-
This conversion helps users compare modern high-speed storage interface data rates to much slower legacy dial-up modem speeds, aiding understanding of historical bandwidth and data transfer limitations.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-3)
-
A parallel storage interface standard defining signaling and data transfer for storage devices, widely used in legacy enterprise and backup environments.
-
Modem (33.6k)
-
A data speed measure representing roughly 33.6 kbps, typical of V.34 dial-up modem maximum transfer rates over analog phone lines.
