RE: I'm going to agree with Ryelands' argument below - idle HD(SSD) is not really "idle", ...

Do you have any information as to how often and/or how much "health" or "keep alive" interaction goes over SATA cables in Windows operating systems? I suspect this may depend on how the BIOS and OS have been set up.

There isn't a lot of traffic to/from the disks. The disk I/O light on the PC flashes all the time when I play music off the hard drive, but it rarely flashes while playing music out of the RAM disk. The O/S seldom goes to disk as most of its activity seems to come out of cached RAM.
