Hi Dazza76,
I do not have those disks, so I can't answer whether they work fine with the NAS or not. They are not listed on the compatibility list anyway:

Perhaps someone else on the forum might be able to answer that question. However, Netgear could deny you support (if you at some point need support) due to the fact that you are using unsupported disks. Personally, I always stick to officially supported disks.
Cheers!
