What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you transform data transfer values measured in STS3 (payload), which refers to the user-data bytes of a SONET OC-3 transport channel, into equivalent rates expressed in SCSI (Fast Wide), a SCSI-2 interface mode used for connecting storage and peripheral devices.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the numeric value in STS3 (payload) units representing the data transfer rate.
  • Select STS3 (payload) as the source unit and SCSI (Fast Wide) as the target unit if not preselected.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent transfer rate in SCSI (Fast Wide) units.

Key Features

  • Converts data rates between telecommunications SONET payload and SCSI storage interface units.
  • Uses a defined conversion rate relating STS3 (payload) to SCSI (Fast Wide).
  • Supports capacity planning and benchmarking between telecom carrier links and storage subsystem throughput.
  • Browser-based and easy to use with clear unit definitions.

Examples

  • Converting 1 STS3 (payload) gives approximately 0.9396 SCSI (Fast Wide).
  • A value of 10 STS3 (payload) equals about 9.396 SCSI (Fast Wide).

Common Use Cases

  • Planning and provisioning OC-3 circuits in telecom networks by relating payload capacity to storage subsystem data rates.
  • Benchmarking and integrating high-speed SONET payload streams with legacy server disk or tape throughput.
  • Configuring data center storage systems and connecting external peripherals requiring compatibility between telecom and SCSI interfaces.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Consider the context of your network or storage environment to select appropriate units for conversion.
  • Use the tool to aid in capacity planning by matching telecom payload capabilities to storage device throughput.
  • Be aware that practical throughput may vary due to physical layer factors and protocol overhead not reflected in theoretical conversion.

Limitations

  • The conversion assumes ideal throughput without accounting for protocol overhead or signal quality issues.
  • Actual SCSI (Fast Wide) performance can differ based on implementation details like cable type, length, and device negotiation.
  • STS3 payload excludes framing and overhead bytes, which means effective data rates depend on specific traffic encapsulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does STS3 (payload) represent?
STS3 (payload) denotes the user-data portion of a SONET Synchronous Transport Signal level 3 frame, representing the bytes available for client traffic after excluding framing and overhead.

What is SCSI (Fast Wide)?
SCSI (Fast Wide) is a SCSI-2 interface mode that combines a 10 MHz timing with a 16-bit data bus, enabling theoretical maximum throughput of about 20 MB/s.

Why is the conversion rate not exactly 1:1?
The conversion accounts for the different data transfer characteristics and overheads between STS3 payload rates and SCSI (Fast Wide) throughput, resulting in a rate of 0.9396.

Key Terminology

STS3 (payload)
The user-data portion of a SONET level 3 (OC-3) frame representing capacity available for client traffic excluding framing and overhead.
SCSI (Fast Wide)
A SCSI-2 interface mode combining 10 MHz timing with a 16-bit data bus, allowing higher data transfer rates over legacy storage connections.
