Oh no, the Black is much better - it costs more 
Seriously, these are basically the same identical drives (except for name), generally always 7200, same cache, etc for given sizes...the black vs blue is a marketing thing - BLACK implies higher performance and better, blue implies better value and aimed at more basic users vs high performance user, when basically it's more the label is different than anything that means anything

So black is for high performance user and blue is for basic users?
