It turns out to be a bad idea to shout at your hard drives. This screenshot is from Analytics on the 7410. The issue is not with the 7410, it's with disk drives in general. The disk latency here is also not suffered by the client applications, as this is ZFS asynchronously flushing write data to disk. Still, it was great to see how easily Analytics could identify this latency, and interesting to see what the cause was. There's a video, too. Discussion here.

They seem to also be hacking people's PC's without a warrant, thanks dhwwwops. The hacking is known as “remote searching”. It allows police or MI5 officers who may be hundreds of miles away to examine covertly the hard drive of someone’s PC at his home, office or hotel room.
BenchmarkReviews continue their heatsink roundup. From my experience, 2008 has been a very good year for CPU coolers.
