If that's the same as BIOS "compatible" mode for SATA ports then
they're supposed to be presented to the OS as traditional IDE drives.
More info may be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AHCI and

If you still have concerns, follow up with HP on this issue as they
should know their hardware details better than anyone else. You
may wish to contact them by phone, email, and support fora since
the breadth of detail may vary from one media to another.
