What Is This Tool?
This unit converter allows users to convert data transfer measurements from SCSI (Ultra-3) to SCSI (LVD Ultra160), two parallel SCSI interface standards used in legacy storage environments. It assists in evaluating performance metrics and planning system diagnostics or upgrades.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the amount of data transfer in SCSI (Ultra-3) units
-
Select SCSI (Ultra-3) as the source unit
-
Choose SCSI (LVD Ultra160) as the target unit
-
Click convert to instantly see the equivalent value
-

Key Features
-
Converts data transfer values between SCSI (Ultra-3) and SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
Uses a direct 1:1 conversion ratio for easy calculations
-
Supports legacy IT and data-center storage interface metrics
-
Browser-based and easy to use without technical expertise
Examples
-
5 SCSI (Ultra-3) equals 5 SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
10 SCSI (Ultra-3) equals 10 SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing performance metrics of SCSI storage devices in legacy IT infrastructure
-
Benchmarking data transfer rates for enterprise hard drives and RAID controllers
-
Planning upgrades or diagnostics in data-center backup systems using parallel SCSI
-
Assessing storage bus bandwidth during system migration or compatibility checks
Tips & Best Practices
-
Confirm that both storage devices support the respective SCSI standards before conversion
-
Use the converter to aid in legacy system diagnostics or performance evaluation
-
Combine conversion results with physical device testing for comprehensive analysis
-
Remember both standards reflect legacy interfaces with bandwidth up to 160 MB/s
Limitations
-
The conversion applies only to legacy SCSI standards with maximum bandwidth around 160 MB/s
-
Compatibility issues may arise due to signaling differences between the interfaces
-
Does not reflect higher performance or modern storage interface standards
-
Conversion assumes equal bandwidth but does not address hardware interoperability
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does 1 SCSI (Ultra-3) equal in SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
1 SCSI (Ultra-3) is equal to 1 SCSI (LVD Ultra160) based on the conversion rate used for evaluating legacy storage interfaces.
-
Can this converter be used for modern storage systems?
-
No, this converter is designed for legacy SCSI standards that have maximum bandwidths up to 160 MB/s and does not apply to modern high-performance storage interfaces.
-
Why convert between SCSI (Ultra-3) and SCSI (LVD Ultra160)?
-
Users convert between these to compare performance, verify compatibility, and plan diagnostics or upgrades in legacy storage environments.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-3)
-
A legacy parallel Small Computer System Interface standard defining signaling, command framing, and bus management for block-level data transfers with specific compatibility and throughput features.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A parallel SCSI interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signalling to provide up to 160 MB/s bandwidth, describing performance metrics for storage I/O in legacy systems.
-
Data Transfer
-
The process of moving data between a host system and storage devices, measured here in legacy SCSI interface units for benchmarking purposes.
