What Is This Tool?
This converter translates data transfer rates between SCSI (Ultra-3), a storage interface standard used in legacy enterprise systems, and T2 (signal), an older North American telecommunications digital carrier rate. It aids in comparing throughput across these different technology contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in SCSI (Ultra-3) units you want to convert.
-
Select SCSI (Ultra-3) as your starting unit and T2 (signal) as your target unit.
-
Submit the input to get the equivalent value measured in T2 (signal).
Key Features
-
Converts between SCSI (Ultra-3) data transfer rates and T2 (signal) rates.
-
Supports legacy system measurements bridging storage interface and telecom standards.
-
Provides easy input and fast calculations for data rate comparisons.
Examples
-
2 SCSI (Ultra-3) converts to about 405.5767 T2 (signal).
-
0.5 SCSI (Ultra-3) converts to approximately 101.3942 T2 (signal).
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing and benchmarking throughput for legacy storage subsystems using SCSI interfaces.
-
Evaluating data transfer rates between storage devices and telecom leased lines.
-
Supporting IT and telecommunications infrastructure planning involving legacy technologies.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify source and target units carefully before conversion to avoid confusion.
-
Use the tool primarily for legacy systems or historical data comparisons.
-
Understand that this conversion reflects data rate equivalence, not direct interoperability.
Limitations
-
SCSI (Ultra-3) and T2 (signal) represent different technologies with distinct purposes.
-
Conversion is based on throughput equivalence and does not imply functional compatibility.
-
Modern systems often employ faster interfaces, limiting practical use to legacy scenarios.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does SCSI (Ultra-3) represent?
-
SCSI (Ultra-3) is a generation of the Small Computer System Interface standard used for block-level data transfers between hosts and storage devices in legacy enterprise systems.
-
What is T2 (signal) used for?
-
T2 (signal) is a legacy digital carrier level in the North American T-carrier system, utilized for medium-capacity leased lines and trunking in historical telecommunications.
-
Can this conversion be used for modern systems?
-
This conversion primarily serves legacy and historical comparisons, as modern systems typically use faster interfaces and carriers.
Key Terminology
-
SCSI (Ultra-3)
-
A parallel storage interface standard generation used for data transfers between hosts and storage devices in legacy enterprise systems.
-
T2 (signal)
-
A legacy digital carrier level in the North American T-carrier system transmitting at about 6.312 megabits per second.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data moves from one device or system to another, measured in units like SCSI (Ultra-3) or T2 signals.
