Ubutnu 18.04 SSD sometimes freeze for seconds
I have ubuntu 18.04 in two computers (the same hardware) and sometimes during the day, the led of the SSD is lighten continual for a few seconds (almost 30) and the computer practically freezes during this time, happens randomly, for example , with something simple like open Gedit .
In the first place I installed POP OS 18.10 but I remove it thinking that was the problem.
Then I installed Ubuntu 18.04, but the problem continues, I also removed swap partition.
And I checked the SSD with smarttools and everything seems fine.
The SSD patitions:
Device Start End Sectors Size Type

/dev/sda3 99610624 937701375 838090752 399.6G Linux filesystem
I was testing with some commands and for explame, when is failing:
sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda

Disabling swap was not a sensible step to do in this case. At best it changed nothing. At worst it made the problem worse and you lost some useful information that could have helped debugging the problem. It would have been useful to know how much swap was in use and how much was free before it was disabled. There is however still other useful information for you to look at. You can rundmesgin a terminal to see kernel logs currently in memory. Additionally you can look in/var/log/syslogwhere the most important entries from the kernel logs are saved.
