I am using the CFQ I/O scheduler for my HDD and the noop scheduler for the SSD.
Whenever there is high disk I/O on my HDD, my system will slow to a crawl... even moving the mouse pointer stutters. This will happen sometimes when Chrome crashes and begins to clear the cache or if I load VMWARE and there is heavy disk I/O. Basically anytime there is heavy disk I/O, the usability of my system nearly drops to zero. I'm at a complete loss as how to fix it.. Can anyone help?

Please be aware of my Newbie Powers.
This is just a hunch. Is it a desktop PC? In that case have you tried change to another sata connector on the motherboard? Sounds like both SSD and HDD are competing for the ressources of the same channel. I may be completely off target. Like I've already mentioned: Newbie Powers!!

Same problem with eg. icewm or fluxbox?
Edit:
Same problem with "gnome on xorg"?
latest gnome is still 3.22, so unless you're on nouveau or modesetting rather than the nvidia blob (lsmod) you're not running gnome on wayland.
