What Is This Tool?
This converter enables users to transform data transfer measurements from T1Z (payload), representing user-data throughput on T1 lines, into SCSI (Ultra-2), a parallel SCSI storage interface standard. It assists in comparing telecommunications throughput with storage data rates.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in T1Z (payload) units you want to convert.
-
Select T1Z (payload) as the source unit and SCSI (Ultra-2) as the target unit.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent value in SCSI (Ultra-2).
Key Features
-
Converts user-data payload rates from T1Z (payload) to SCSI (Ultra-2).
-
Highlights informal and legacy unit usage in telecommunications and storage environments.
-
Browser-based and easy to use for quick data rate comparisons.
Examples
-
10 T1Z (payload) converts to 0.024125 SCSI (Ultra-2).
-
100 T1Z (payload) converts to 0.24125 SCSI (Ultra-2).
Common Use Cases
-
Estimating usable user-data throughput on legacy T1/DS1 circuits.
-
Comparing telecommunications payload data rates with storage interface speeds.
-
Planning integration between network and storage hardware in IT environments.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Verify the context of T1Z (payload) as it is an informal unit affected by framing overhead.
-
Consider device and cable conditions that impact SCSI (Ultra-2) performance when making conversions.
-
Use this converter for rough data rate estimations rather than exact performance analysis.
Limitations
-
T1Z (payload) is not a standardized SI unit and varies with framing and channel usage.
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) throughput depends on hardware and connection quality, affecting accuracy.
-
Conversion excludes protocol overhead or device-level performance factors beyond raw rates.
Frequently Asked Questions

-
T1Z (payload) represents the user-data throughput portion of a T1/DS1 circuit, excluding framing overhead.
-
What is SCSI (Ultra-2)?
-
SCSI (Ultra-2) is a parallel Small Computer System Interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling for higher performance and longer cable lengths.
-
Why convert between T1Z (payload) and SCSI (Ultra-2)?
-
Users convert these units to compare legacy telecommunications user-data rates with storage interface speeds in enterprise environments.
Key Terminology
-
T1Z (payload)
-
An informal unit representing the user-data portion of a T1/DS1 circuit, typically measured as 1.536 Mbps excluding framing overhead.
-
SCSI (Ultra-2)
-
A parallel Small Computer System Interface standard employing Low Voltage Differential signaling for improved data transfer and cable length performance.
