I started to notice freezes on my system when there is heavy disk activity, both on reading and writing. I have two internal disks, NVME, and a classic SSD.
`root` and `home` are on `NVME` and SSD is a storage one. I tested by creating a 3GB tar and `cat`ing it to `/dev/null` on both disks.
NVME is much slower and freezes the system, while SSD does not. I have a weekly trim but performed manual as well. No change.

NVME is about 3 years old.
Is NVME dying or is there some fix I can do?
Could it be because NVME has only 11% free space?
Let me know if I should provide more info.
EDIT:
All internal disks are on Ext4.
Also, I just noticed it also occurs when copying large stuff from external USB spin disk to SSD. That is bypassing NVME, so it seems it is not the NVME.
EDIT2:
It turned out it is excessive swapping happening, even though there are 2/3 of mem available. When I turn the swap off, I can't reproduce it anymore.
