There already is such service bundled in Windows and enabled by default - PreFetcher (in Windows XP) and SuperFetch (since Vista). It was a bit too aggressive in Vista and caused minutes of HDD churning after booting up.

last time I checked prefetch was disabled when windows detected being booted from SSD.

  I'm using Windows with SSD and I saw superfetch process using disk aggressively sometimes. I'm not sure that it's disabled, at least completely disabled.

    MS says ''Windows 8 and 10 automatically disables SuperFetch service'' https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The-Defrag-Show/Defrag-Disabling-Hibernation-Superfetch-onboard-VGA#time=05m50s https://channel9.msdn.com/Shows/The-Defrag-Show/Defrag-Disab...
