Summary
The documentation page does not provide explicit examples or instructions for either Windows or Linux platforms, but it does mention SMB 3.0 (commonly associated with Windows environments) as the recommended protocol for encrypted data transfer. Additionally, the secure erase tools listed (ARCCONF, MSECLI) are typically Windows-centric or at least not clarified for Linux usage. There are no references to Linux-specific protocols (such as NFS with Kerberos, SSH/SCP, rsync, etc.), nor are Linux command-line examples or tools mentioned anywhere. This results in a subtle bias toward Windows environments and tools, with Linux parity lacking in protocol recommendations and tool documentation.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention and provide examples for both Windows and Linux environments when discussing data transfer protocols (e.g., include NFS with Kerberos, rsync over SSH, SCP, etc.).
- Clarify whether secure erase tools (ARCCONF, MSECLI) are available and supported on Linux, and provide Linux usage instructions if applicable.
- Provide Linux command-line examples for connecting to the Data Box device, mounting shares, and transferring data.
- List Linux-compatible protocols and best practices for secure data transfer to/from Data Box.
- Ensure parity in documentation by referencing both Windows and Linux administrative patterns and tools wherever relevant.
