Is this an ok drive for my daughter to use as as a backup and games drive, not looking for a super duper drive:
WD Green 1TB 2.5" SATA SSD/Solid State Drive

Would she notice a difference between the blue and green versions of the WD SSD drives?

Doesn't seem to be much difference apart from reliability (hours rated). Up to 1.0 Million hours for the green vs up to 1.75 Million hours for the blue. Wouldn't bother me personally unless it was only slightly more expensive.

I always offer about 25% off and see what they say when I buy b grade stuff from overclockers. Good thing about buying SSD's are that there are no moving parts, they will either work fine or won't. Most returns with SSD's are due to finding cheaper deals elsewhere right after being purchased, or manufactures changing to cheaper parts and people after peak performance (tryign to squeeze every % from their system) returning them. See the ssd manufactures doing the dirty thread on here. Again, personally I don't care about needing every % performance from my parts, they work and are plenty quick enough for me
