If I am satisfied with my disk speed, why would I want to use system memory? What are the specific use cases where this is warranted?

Technically it'll have some impact on the number of write cycles your disk goes through, and marginally reduce the level of wear.

Most disks have a lot of write cycles available that you'll be fine anyway, but it's a tiny benefit.
