What Is This Tool?
This converter translates measurements of application-level payload data in the T3Z protocol into equivalent units of IDE (UDMA mode 2), a legacy data transfer speed for PATA interfaces. It is designed to aid engineers and technicians in comparing payload throughput and optimizing data transfer performance across different systems.
How to Use This Tool?

Examples
-
5 T3Z (payload) converts to approximately 0.8145 IDE (UDMA mode 2)
-
10 T3Z (payload) converts to approximately 1.6291 IDE (UDMA mode 2)
Common Use Cases
-
Reporting average payload size per message in T3Z telemetry
-
Calculating payload throughput for T3Z transport capacity planning
-
Configuring legacy PC BIOS or drive controllers for ATA/33 transfer mode
-
Comparing legacy disk throughput benchmark results with UDMA mode 2
-

Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter for engineering estimations rather than precise measurements
-
Consider system overhead and hardware conditions when interpreting results
-
Apply conversions to compare telemetry protocols with legacy disk interfaces
-
Validate settings on legacy hardware when using IDE (UDMA mode 2) values
Limitations
-
T3Z (payload) lacks a universal SI magnitude due to its context-specific nature
-
IDE (UDMA mode 2) rates are theoretical maximums and may not reflect actual throughput
-
Conversion should be used as an approximate guide for engineering purposes
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does T3Z (payload) measure?
-
T3Z (payload) quantifies the amount of user-level data carried by a message or transfer interval in a T3Z-labeled system or protocol.
-
What is IDE (UDMA mode 2)?
-
IDE (UDMA mode 2) is a legacy PATA interface mode that supports a maximum theoretical transfer speed of about 33.3 megabytes per second.
-
Can this tool provide exact data transfer measurements?
-
No, the conversion is best suited to approximate engineering calculations rather than precise throughput values.
Key Terminology
-
T3Z (payload)
-
A context-specific unit measuring user data payload size or throughput in T3Z-based telemetry and protocols.
-
IDE (UDMA mode 2)
-
A legacy PATA interface transfer mode supporting up to about 33.3 MB/s, also known as ATA/33.
-
Payload throughput
-
The rate at which user-level data is successfully transferred within a communication system.
