Hi, everybody!
There is a new feature in the scar iii laptop series - shadow drive. It is visible in the system only if the keystone is in place.
I have configured the shadow drive but still can't find out the following:
1/ How much space is allocated for the shadow drive? Where is it reserved?
2/ Is the space variable? Can ot be fixed?
3/ Is the drive really encripted? What is the encryption type? Once I plug the ssd of the laptop to another system, will the shadow drive still be visible?
Thanks!
read a review here: "
Unfortunately, Shadow Drive encryption requires Windows 10 Pro, but local units only ship with Windows 10 Home."
That said - the encryption is probably based on windows's "BitLocker" tech, with some custom script to mount/dismount the drive from windows explorer's view.
in a YT review- you can see that they allocate the drive ~900GB ( and in my opnion it is a whole dedicated drive ).
The NFC key that comes with the laptop, beside running that script I stated, can also be used to apply specific configuration within the 'Armory Crate' app.
IMHO - Asus invents new gimmicks to lure ppl into buying stuff they don't really need.
unless you share that laptop with others, making it practically a 'kiosk' PC - IMHO - this feature is pure BS, with a hint of a lie - since they don't sell the laptop with PRO edition of windows ( thus NO BITLOCKER option is available ).
