Laptop HDD upgrade

I currently have a WD blue edition in my laptop, would it be worth upgrading to a black? SSD is currently a no-go for the amount of storage i use it would cost me too much. ie for steam/games. ( using 170gb atm )

I have looked at benchmarks etc in comparison to each other, but will i really notice the difference?

It may be worth thinking about the Hybrid drives.

The Momentus are really loud drives for laptops,well mine was

WD Blacks are brilliant HDDs for laptops and super fast.

The Momentus XT are very good drives and are faster than the blacks, even though ive just sent mine back for RMA.

After owning all 3 drives i would go for the WD Black personally.
