You will not be able to run it on an SSG any faster than on a VEGA64, as it simply does not work like that, at least to my knowledge. The SSD on the SSG is used as an extended buffer to replace system RAM/Storage and reduce latency when loading/unloading files. If you consider that currently you can not utilize System RAM/Storage as terabytes of VRAM, then an SSD designed to act in place of something you already can't utilize is clearly not going to be magically capable of acting as VRAM. The card has 16gb of HBM2 memory and that is ALL you will be able to use for the scrypt computations. If it was possible to utilize the SSD for Scrypt, then we could simply do that right now with your System RAM/Storage at the cost of slightly higher latency.
If you want to run Scrypt, get some fast RAM and fast CPUs and just run it on that. It will be far cheaper/faster/more efficient than trying to convince your GPU to use system resources as VRAM.
