Common Use Cases
-
Comparing telecom line capacities with storage interface bandwidths for infrastructure planning.
-
Evaluating legacy storage bus throughput during system migrations.
-
Assessing network backbone and storage I/O performance jointly in data centers.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure understanding of the fundamental difference between telecommunications and storage data units.
-
Use the tool for high-level performance estimates rather than exact throughput matching.
-
Consider the context of peak versus sustained data rates when comparing results.
-
Combine conversion insights with domain-specific knowledge for best infrastructure decisions.
Limitations
-
T3 (signal) and SCSI (LVD Ultra160) measure different types of data transfer rates with distinct units.
-
Direct performance comparisons require awareness that SCSI rates indicate maximum throughput, while T3 rates reflect sustained channel bandwidth.
-
The converter is not intended for precise engineering calculations due to differing unit bases (bits per second vs. bytes per second).
