WD Blue or Green?

[Casterina]

I'm deciding whether to get the 1TB WD Blue or Green 5400RPM hard drive for storage and downloading as I have my OS and games on SSD, what are the differences?

Green wears out quicker the more you access it,no such issues with the blue

Have you considered the Red? Very quiet, runs very cool, very low power consumption, MTBF 1,000,000 hours, 3 year warranty. They're great for mass storage and run just fine as a single drive despite being NAS orientated.

greens have been replaced with blue (now have a choice of 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm dependant upon size), so any greens still available are old stock

'Green wears out quicker the more you access it,no such issues with the blue '

I thought they are the same above 2TB and different at 1TB?

I read somewhere the problem with greens used to be they tried to park the heads at every opportunity which was a potential problem, only WD i've had die on me was green, I've used Black and Red since.

I have went with a WD Blue 1TB 5400RPM drive but are they just a rebrand of the Green or above 2TB?
