i shortlisted below for my need...
WD Caviar Green 2 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (WD20EARX) | Internal Hard Drive | Flipkart.com

Can i use it as my primary drive?
Some said that 5900 rpm drives are not suitable for primary drives..........

Not much difference in performance between green drives and normal 7200rpm drives.
