Well I don't know if nowadays HDDs are sata [strike]III[/strike] 3gb/s or 6gb/s, for example the WD Black WD2002FAEX. If it's 3gb/s, is it ok for me to plug it into a 6gb/s port?

As stated above, there's nothing to be worried about in terms of compatibility.

Furthermore, most conventional hard drives can't actually read or write fast enough to take advantage of the full SATA 3 bandwidth, so you won't even see any speed differences between plugging into SATA2 or SATA3. (I think for fast SSD's, the story is different, someone can correct me if I'm wrong)
