I have gradually been upgrading my rig and ripping out the crappy parts mesh put in it 18 months ago (never again now that I have learnt how to build!). Next to go are the PSU and HDD. I am getting an antec trupower 650w PSU but I am a little confused as to which HDD to get.

I currently have a slow HDD. I tis 500gb but it get 5.9 on windows experience which drags down everything else which are in the high 7's. I know it doesnt really mean anything but it is indicative of the speed of the HDD. It runs slowly as well.

Ideally I would like a really fast and efficient 1TB HDD which is also stable.

I am looking at the western digital ones, but am unsure as to whether I should get a caviar green or pay more for a caviar black. I know the green is more energy efficient and the black is faster but to what extent as is it worth the money? I am looking at these:

Which should I go for? Thanks.
