... from the point of view of interaction with the rest of the system. The fact that no music data is being read or written, doesn't mean there's no activity - at the very least, there's OS monitoring the hardware's health.In other words, I'm sure SATA cable will affect the SQ, even if file is fully loaded into memory before playback - but mechanism is NOT that of data being "screwed up", passing through the cable before loading.
