Did you bother to look at the documentation on the disks you're buying?
It doesn't seem like it.  Taken from Western Digital's specifications
for the above drives:

WD740ADFD -- http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1405&p_created=1135201452
WD2000JD  -- http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1027&p_created=1056559256

Summary:

WD740ADFD -- 10000rpm, 4.5ms seek, SATA150, 16MB cache
WD2000JD  --  7200rpm, 8.9ms seek, SATA150,  8MB cache

Neither of these drives have SATA300-capable controllers on them.
Therefore, there is no problem.
