The DVDs are connected to SATA ports.  It's very (only) noticeable here
because none of the devices connected to the on-board SATA cotrollers is
mounted or otherwise in use by anything I'm doing/running.  I'm not
running gnome, just an X-session started with startx and i3 as WM, and
yet the light constantly flashes like once a second.  I can't see
anything in the output of PS that would indicate what is making the
light flash.
