What Is This Tool?

This tool converts data transfer units from STS3c (signal), a SONET telecom signal rate, to IDE (PIO mode 3), a programmed I/O transfer mode used in legacy storage devices. It helps users compare or equate telecom network speeds with storage device transfer rates.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter a value in STS3c (signal) representing the data transfer rate
  • Select STS3c (signal) as the source unit and IDE (PIO mode 3) as the target unit
  • Click convert to see the equivalent IDE (PIO mode 3) value
  • Use the result for performance comparison or testing purposes

Key Features

  • Convert data transfer rates between STS3c (signal) and IDE (PIO mode 3)
  • Based on defined conversion rate without guessing or approximation
  • Supports telecom and legacy hardware data unit comparisons
  • Browser-based and easy to use with simple input controls

Examples

  • 2 STS3c (signal) converts to approximately 3.5027 IDE (PIO mode 3)
  • 0.5 STS3c (signal) converts to approximately 0.8757 IDE (PIO mode 3)

Common Use Cases

  • Provisioning high-speed telecom backbones or leased-line circuits
  • Facilitating compatibility testing between telecom signals and legacy IDE devices
  • Supporting retrocomputing scenarios comparing historical storage modes
  • Integrating embedded systems interfacing with older IDE storage hardware

Tips & Best Practices

  • Understand the context of data transfer types when interpreting conversions
  • Use the tool for benchmarking or compatibility checks rather than direct throughput claims
  • Remember that IDE (PIO mode 3) rates are theoretical maxima and CPU-dependent
  • Consider protocol overheads as STS3c rates represent gross transport signals

Limitations

  • Conversion compares different data transfer types: network transport vs. storage I/O
  • Real-world IDE (PIO mode 3) speeds vary due to CPU involvement
  • STS3c throughput is gross rate, excluding protocol overhead and usable payload differences

Frequently Asked Questions

What is STS3c (signal)?
STS3c (signal) is a SONET electrical transport signal with a gross data rate of 155.52 Mbit/s formed by concatenating three STS-1 channels, commonly used in high-bandwidth telecom circuits.

What does IDE (PIO mode 3) represent?
IDE (PIO mode 3) is a CPU-driven programmed I/O transfer mode for Parallel ATA/IDE storage devices with a theoretical maximum raw throughput of about 11.1 megabytes per second.

Why convert between STS3c and IDE (PIO mode 3)?
Users convert between these units to compare telecom network transmission speeds with legacy storage device transfer rates for benchmarking, testing, or interfacing legacy and modern systems.

Key Terminology

STS3c (signal)
A SONET electrical transport signal that concatenates three STS-1 channels into a high-bandwidth transport with 155.52 Mbit/s gross data rate.
IDE (PIO mode 3)
A programmed I/O transfer mode for Parallel ATA/IDE devices driven by the CPU, offering a theoretical maximum throughput of about 11.1 MB/s.
Concatenation
The process of joining multiple data streams or channels into a single contiguous payload without byte-interleaving.
