Both are good, however WD Green is a bit cheaper. Get whichever you get for lower price.

Don't get the Barracuda no matter what you have been told.

You can get a Blue 2 TB or Purple 2 TB. The latter has One year extra warranty. Still Black is the one which is recommended, nothing can beat a 5 year warranty.

Hi Tech_Wiz,

Based on your requirement, I’d suggest you to go with the WD Green. The WD Green drive used for computing like Storage, normal usage and etc. The WD Green models are available from 500GB to 6TB. To check the specification of WD Green, you may refer to the link below.

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.

Hope it helps.

That price is still the best you can buy for online.
Plus you can check your local store for a better price.
