What Is This Tool?
This unit converter helps you translate data transfer rates from terabyte per second (TB/s), a high-bandwidth measurement used for modern storage and networks, into IDE (UDMA mode 2), a legacy data transfer mode typical of older parallel ATA interfaces. It allows comparison between vastly different data rates for diagnostics or benchmarking.
How to Use This Tool?

-
Use these examples to see how extremely high modern data rates compare to legacy interface speeds
Common Use Cases
-
Comparing ultra-high data transfer rates of modern storage arrays with legacy IDE interface speeds
-
Configuring or troubleshooting older PCs that utilize ATA/33 transfer modes
-
Interpreting benchmark results for devices operating on UDMA mode 2
-
Understanding data throughput differences between current and legacy technologies
-
Diagnosing compatibility issues involving PATA interfaces and their transfer modes
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the unit definitions when working with data transfer rates
-
Use this converter to contextualize performance differences rather than expecting direct equivalences
-
Refer to the provided examples to understand scale differences in data transfer capabilities
-
Keep in mind the legacy nature of IDE (UDMA mode 2) when analyzing results
-
Be aware of unit measurement conventions such as decimal terabytes vs. binary tebibytes
Limitations
-
IDE (UDMA mode 2) speeds represent maximum theoretical rates for outdated PATA interfaces
-
Terabyte per second transfers are far beyond what IDE (UDMA mode 2) can practically handle
-
Slight inconsistencies may arise from differences in decimal and binary measurement units
-
Direct practical equivalence between these units is rare due to their disparate scale and application contexts
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does terabyte per second measure?
-
Terabyte per second (TB/s) measures extremely high data transfer rates, representing one trillion bytes transferred every second.
-
What is IDE (UDMA mode 2)?
-
IDE (UDMA mode 2), also known as ATA/33, is a legacy data transfer mode for parallel ATA interfaces with a maximum theoretical transfer speed around 33.3 megabytes per second.
-
Why would I convert TB/s to IDE (UDMA mode 2)?
-
Converting helps in contextualizing modern high data rates against legacy hardware capabilities, troubleshooting older systems, and comparing benchmark results.
Key Terminology
-
Terabyte per second (TB/s)
-
A data transfer rate unit representing transfer of one terabyte (10^12 bytes) of data every second, used for very high bandwidth connections.
-
IDE (UDMA mode 2)
-
A legacy Ultra DMA transfer mode for PATA interfaces, also known as ATA/33, offering up to approximately 33.3 megabytes per second transfer speeds.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The speed at which data is moved from one place to another within a system or over a network.
