The Galaxy S7 Edge has a similar defect where a vertical pink line appears on many units. Do an image search or eBay search for that and you'll see what I mean. Given that Apple is using Samsung OLED panels for the X (which is what the S7 Edge is using) it makes me wonder if Samsung has a bigger QC problem on their hands.
The Firewire spec allows for much longer cables than USB. A bought two 32ft firewire cables that were guaranteed to operate at that distance (www.granitedigital.com) and put a firewire hub to connect the two together. That gave me 64 feet of distance.
I have done CD/DVD burning, printing, and scanning, with no problems over this 64ft distance.
I used a refurb Cybex extender for the keyboard, video and mouse over one CAT5 cable.
You can format a larger than 32GB partition to FAT32 using window's built in tools. The Ask Slashdot questioner said FAT32 is OK provided he can format it using Windows. Just do the following:
Win2000/XP: Go to command line and type:
format x:/fs:fat32
replacing "x" with the appropriate drive letter.
Win95b/Win98/WinME: The gui tools allow you to do it directly although the format command will do it as well.
