I'm playing with Readyboost on an SSD now; seems to help a bit. 

Our older Lenovo laptops had 16 GB NVMe drives and 500 GB spinning SATA drives - it turns out there's an Intel driver that uses the NVMe drive as a big cache.

No such luck for linux, I used it for swap and /tmp.

Reminded me of the hybrid SATA drives I bought by the case back in 2012 or so. Nice idea, made a nice compromise between speed and cost - quite a bit faster than a plain SATA drive for not much more cost.
