What HDD?

[bulletv1]

Just looking at getting a 1TB HDD to replace a couple of 320GB and wondering if it's worth paying the extra £15 to go from a Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB to a Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB.

Is there much noticeable noise and performance difference?

I haven't used the blue drives myself, but I use black drives as the 5 year warranty gives me a lot more confidence in their reliability over the blue drives with 2 year warranties, and the extra performance is nice.
