What Is This Tool?

This tool converts values from STS1 (payload), a data capacity measure in synchronous optical networks, to IDE (PIO mode 2), a legacy timing mode for IDE storage devices. It helps bridge understanding between modern networking throughput and older storage transfer modes.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in STS1 (payload) units you want to convert
  • Select IDE (PIO mode 2) as the target unit
  • Click convert to see the equivalent IDE (PIO mode 2) value

Key Features

  • Converts STS1 (payload) data capacity to IDE (PIO mode 2) timing units
  • Supports understanding of data transfer performance across technologies
  • Useful for telecommunications and legacy computer use cases
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation

Examples

  • 1 STS1 (payload) equals approximately 0.7455 IDE (PIO mode 2)
  • 2 STS1 (payload) equals approximately 1.4910 IDE (PIO mode 2)

Common Use Cases

  • Provisioning SONET circuits and planning optical network capacity
  • Configuring or diagnosing legacy IDE drive timing in vintage PCs
  • Comparing SONET payload capacity with older IDE interface transfer performance
  • Analyzing device reports for PIO transfer modes on IDE drives

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this conversion primarily for comparative or diagnostic purposes
  • Understand that the units differ fundamentally and are not directly equivalent
  • Apply the tool when working with both telecommunications and legacy storage contexts
  • Refer to device documentation when diagnosing performance based on transfer modes

Limitations

  • STS1 (payload) measures user data capacity in networks, while IDE (PIO mode 2) is a timing specification
  • Direct conversions are approximate and not suited for exact throughput calculations
  • The tool is for understanding relationships, not precise engineering measurements

Frequently Asked Questions

What does STS1 (payload) represent?
STS1 (payload) indicates the user-data capacity within an STS-1 frame in a SONET network, with a usable payload rate of 50.112 Mbps.

What is IDE (PIO mode 2)?
IDE (PIO mode 2) is a legacy ATA/IDE interface timing mode defining signal timing and data transfer rates for CPU-driven data transfers on older storage devices.

Can this conversion be used for precise data throughput calculation?
No, because these units represent fundamentally different concepts, conversions are approximate and meant for comparison or diagnostic purposes.

Key Terminology

STS1 (payload)
The user-data capacity carried inside an STS-1 frame in a SONET network, with a usable payload of 50.112 Mbps.
IDE (PIO mode 2)
A legacy ATA/IDE interface timing specification for CPU-driven data transfer cycles on older storage devices.
SONET
Synchronous Optical Network, a standardized protocol that transfers multiple digital bit streams over optical fiber.
