Every SATA controller I'm aware of has IDE-emulation capability. The motherboard manufacturer determines whether to retain the BIOS option enabling that capability, however, and it's unavailable if they don't.

AHCI is the default now, There's really no downside to it vs. IDE mode. With that said for SSD's neither AHCI nor IDE is ideal, but it's what most people will have to choose from.
