Primocache is the generic solution, although I have no personal experience of it. Not free though.

 

AMD have free StoreMI but that Ryzen CPU is a bit old to support it. https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/store-mi might be something to keep in mind if you get the chance to upgrade CPU, assuming the mobo is also supported.
