Huge difference. Green drives have 5400 RPM while Black Drives have an RPM of 10K. There is a huge difference in speed. Green drives are mainly designed for power saving

Not really 10K rpm buddy.. its only 7200 rpm. The main diff is that it has 2 storage processors to process the data.. I found its 7500 outside and bought it on ebay for Rs 6200.
