Netgear ReadyNAS NV

Treated myself to a Netgear NAS server of fleabay yesterday. In the specs it says you can intsall SATA I & SATA II hard drives. I was looking at installing a 2TB SATA III 7200rpm drive in the unit but was worried it won't work. Anyone have experience of one of these and by chance anyone know where I could get a 2TB drive for less then ?80?
