Hi ULTRON 17 ,

I am glad to help you out. For your information, any WD internal drive can be used as a boot drive in PC. In WD, there are different type of drives represented by different colors. As you want the WD Purple drive to use as a primary or secondary drive there will be no issue. The WD Purple drive highly recommended to use for Security purpose, but if you use as a normal drive, it will function like a normal hard drive too. It has inbuilt function to view videos in high-definition framework. To check the specification of WD purple, you may refer to the link below.

WD Purple Surveillance Storage .

The WD Green has preferred for Storage, Backup, Save Power and Quiet environment. To check the specification of WD Green, you may refer to the link below.

WD Green | Desktop 3.5-inch Hard Drives .

As per your need, I suggest you to go with the WD Black or WD Blue. The WD Blue and WD Black drive used for computing like Gaming, Storage, Performance and etc.

Good Luck.
