Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

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

... 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.
