Normal SSD Read/Write Activity?

I know very little about the inner workings of SSD read/write activity and was curious if this was normal


in HWInfo, the Read Activity and Write Activity will occasionally go from 0% to anything from 0.4 to 0.9% even while I'm not touching the computer


is this typical behaviour, like to do with Windows background processes and changes to how much memory certain processes are using, etc.?


to clarify its mostly the Write activity that spikes periodically, typically from 0% to 0.4, 0.8, 0.9%


is this expected behaviour? I can't imagine that small of a percentage is detrimental or indicative of anything in particular but I was just curious about it
 
It's normal because even if you don't touch the system, there are many background tasks running in Windows.
