Tips & Best Practices
-
Use this converter to get a relative bandwidth comparison rather than an exact throughput figure
-
Consider the specific USB generation when interpreting results as data rates vary
-
Keep in mind that SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is a legacy interface with physical and electrical differences from USB
-
Apply the conversion primarily for planning and comparison in engineering contexts
-
Verify actual device performance separately as protocol overheads can affect real-world speeds
Limitations
-
Conversion offers a relative bandwidth estimate and does not account for actual protocol overheads
-
USB data rates differ significantly among generations; this tool assumes a typical USB rate for simplicity
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is a legacy standard incompatible physically and electrically with USB
-
Actual throughput can be influenced by specific device performance and system factors
-
The tool does not reflect real-time transfer speeds or dynamic network conditions
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does this converter do?
-
It converts data transfer values from USB units to equivalent SCSI (LVD Ultra160) rates to help compare bandwidths between modern USB and legacy SCSI interfaces.
-
Can I use this conversion for all USB versions?
-
The conversion assumes a general USB data rate typical for calculation and may not reflect the variations across specific USB generations.
-
Is SCSI (LVD Ultra160) compatible with USB devices?
-
No, SCSI (LVD Ultra160) is a legacy parallel interface and is not physically or electrically compatible with USB devices.
Key Terminology
-
USB
-
An industry-standard serial interface used for data communication and power delivery between host devices and peripherals.
-
SCSI (LVD Ultra160)
-
A legacy parallel data interface standard using Low Voltage Differential signaling with a maximum throughput specification of 160 MB/s.
-
Data Transfer Rate
-
The amount of data moved from one place to another in a given time, typically measured in megabytes or gigabits per second.
