What Is This Tool?

This converter allows users to translate data transfer rates from the STS1 (payload) unit in SONET networks to the IDE (PIO mode 3) transfer mode used in legacy storage devices. It facilitates understanding and comparing these different data transfer technologies.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in STS1 (payload) you want to convert
  • Select IDE (PIO mode 3) as the target unit
  • Click convert to see the result based on the conversion rate
  • Review examples and use the output for system planning or compatibility comparisons

Key Features

  • Converts data rates between STS1 (payload) and IDE (PIO mode 3) units
  • Browser-based and easy to use
  • Supports capacity planning and compatibility assessments between network and storage systems
  • Provides example conversions for clarity

Examples

  • 1 STS1 (payload) ≈ 0.56 IDE (PIO mode 3)
  • 10 STS1 (payload) ≈ 5.57 IDE (PIO mode 3)

Common Use Cases

  • Provisioning SONET circuits carrying DS3 or DS1 channels
  • Capacity planning for optical transport and SONET rings
  • Comparing network payload throughput to legacy IDE device speeds
  • Retrocomputing and performance testing of older storage modes

Tips & Best Practices

  • Understand the conceptual nature of the conversion as the technologies differ
  • Use the conversion for planning and compatibility rather than exact performance matching
  • Consider real-world factors like CPU overhead and protocol differences
  • Consult examples to verify your conversion results

Limitations

  • Conversion is conceptual because STS1 and IDE (PIO mode 3) represent different data technologies with overhead variations
  • IDE (PIO mode 3) throughput is theoretical maximum and performance depends on CPU involvement
  • STS1 (payload) capacity is network payload oriented, whereas IDE speeds are for storage interface rates
  • Actual sustained throughput may deviate from conversion due to differing protocols and system conditions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does STS1 (payload) represent?
STS1 (payload) is the user data capacity inside an STS‑1 frame in SONET networks, providing about 50.112 Mbps of usable payload throughput.

What is IDE (PIO mode 3)?
IDE (PIO mode 3) is a CPU-driven programmed I/O transfer mode for Parallel ATA/IDE storage devices with a theoretical max throughput of approximately 11.1 MB/s.

Why convert between STS1 (payload) and IDE (PIO mode 3)?
Conversion helps compare and translate data capacities between high-speed network payloads and older storage device speeds for compatibility and planning.

Key Terminology

STS1 (payload)
