Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All detailed examples and screenshots use Windows tools (File Explorer, Robocopy, Command Prompt), and the only advanced copy/validation tools (DataBoxDiskSplitCopy.exe, DataBoxDiskValidation.cmd) are Windows-only. Robocopy, a Windows-specific tool, is presented as the primary method for bulk data copy, with no equivalent Linux command-line examples (e.g., rsync, cp, smbclient). Linux is only mentioned in passing, with no practical guidance or examples for Linux users, and validation for Linux is left vague and unsupported.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux examples for copying data to Data Box Disk, using tools such as rsync, cp, or smbclient, including sample commands and output.
- List Linux-compatible alternatives to Robocopy and explain any differences in usage or performance.
- Offer guidance for checksum validation on Linux, such as using sha256sum, md5sum, or other standard utilities, with step-by-step instructions.
- Clarify which Data Box Disk features and tools are available or not available on Linux, and suggest workarounds where possible.
- Include screenshots or terminal output from Linux environments to balance the visual representation.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or in parallel sections, rather than only referencing Windows tools and workflows.
