Adobe Photoshop is a very different animal than Adobe Lightroom. Photoshop and all of the files it uses in any given session can fit into RAM if you have enough RAM, so scratch disk is not an issue.
Lightroom creates "preview files" for its catalogue. It is constantly accessing these files or creating new ones as you move around in the catalogue. I create about 5GB to 10GB of new preview files every month. Some people have over 500GB of preview files, so there is no way all of the preview files can fit into RAM. It is not cost effective to put all of the preview files on SSD drives, and they generally need to live in one directory.
After upgrading the CPU and maximizing the RAM, the only options I am aware of are:
(1) Crucial Adrenaline SSD cache.
(2) Intel SRT SSD Cache.
(3) Some kind of a hybrid drive.
I am leaning towards the Intel SRT Cache because I will have a mobo that supports it.
I have not seen any direct comparisons betweeen Intel SRT and Crucial Adrenaline, either in terms of performance or specs/features.
