I can get 2*2TB WD green drives for £130 or 1 black edition for 120.

I need at least one drive to store my steam content. Is the difference that dramatic between the two that it would affect gaming?
 
I honestly doubt you'd notice any real world difference, although the black will be quicker if you use it as your windows drive.
 
I have the Black 1TB drive myself with a steam install on it,I've not benchmarked drive speed but it feels very snappy,for a games drive personally I think the extra speed of the Black would be beneficial.

The Green has lower power requirements and is possibly quieter but tbh i've never considered the Black to be loud,GB per £ is obviously a big consideration,do you really need 4TB of storage though?

Less storage,more speed all day long for me,lets face it 2TB is still a significant amount for a steam install,more than enough tbh even for the most prolific gamer.
