Have you tried watching the Resource Monitor and see if something's actually accessing the SSD?
What drive light, specifically are you seeing flash? Would that same light flash if your system were accessing the optical drive? I believe under some conditions the system may poll certain optical drives to see if a disc has been inserted.

Thanks for the follow-up. I'm sure the information will help others.
The SearchIndexer didn't occur to me, as that's one of the first things I disable when I set up a new system, so it's out of sight, out of mind here. Indexing doesn't make much sense anyway, and I build systems on fast SSDs, which are fast to just actually search when needed.
