Yes, it seems that the only solution to use StoreMI with your current setup is to install a new NVME SSD and use it as the cache drive for StoreMI.
The error message you received indicates that StoreMI is not able to support your motherboard's SATA source HDD and SATA cache SSD attachment. This means that your current setup does not meet the requirements for StoreMI to work properly. However, using an NVME SSD as the cache drive is supported, so you can install a new NVME SSD and use it as the cache drive for StoreMI.
To do this, you will need to install the NVME SSD in your system, install the operating system and StoreMI on the NVME SSD, and then configure StoreMI to use the NVME SSD as the cache drive for your existing SATA source HDD. Once StoreMI is set up properly, it will automatically move frequently used data to the NVME SSD for faster access, which should improve the overall performance of your system.
Keep in mind that installing a new NVME SSD may require some additional hardware or software configurations, so it's always a good idea to consult your motherboard's documentation or contact the manufacturer's support team for guidance.
