Summary
The documentation page does not provide explicit examples or instructions for either Windows or Linux platforms, but it does mention SMB 3.0 (a protocol most commonly associated with Windows environments) as the recommended encrypted protocol for data-in-flight. Additionally, the secure erase tools listed (ARCCONF, MSECLI) are typically Windows-centric or at least not clarified for Linux usage, and there is no mention of Linux-specific protocols (such as NFS with Kerberos) or tools. There are no PowerShell-heavy sections, but the lack of Linux parity in examples and tool references suggests a subtle Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit instructions and examples for both Windows and Linux clients when describing how to connect to the Data Box device, including sample commands for mounting shares and transferring data.
- Mention Linux-compatible protocols (such as NFS with encryption/Kerberos) alongside SMB, and clarify their support and configuration steps.
- List secure erase tools and procedures for both Windows and Linux environments, or clarify cross-platform compatibility of ARCCONF and MSECLI.
- Include references to Linux authentication and certificate management practices when discussing device trust and access credentials.
- Ensure that any portal or UI instructions are supplemented with CLI examples for both PowerShell (Windows) and Bash (Linux).
