No, I don't have physical access to the server, but I have to admit I don't really see the point even if I did have. What are you proposing would happen if they were physically switched between slots?
The AB-BA swap would help determine whether it was a software or hardware issue like you mentioned here:
"There are two SSD's.....One of these is acting strangely: Monitoring the I/O to it, it exhibits periods where the drive just seems to be "idle" ------- The question, then, is what causes this, and I'm currently trying to figure out if it's a hardware or software issue."
I mentioned this since it's an easy thing to check if the server is in front of you (i.e. physical access). Since it's in a datacenter and you're not present, not so much. It's just something I would try after the update if I was in front of the servers.
