Title says it all really.

How much of a performance boost will I see if I get a 1TB WD Blue drive over my current 640GB WD Green 5400RPM. Also, how does RPM affect performance? I guess higher is faster but that can't just be it?

recent tests dont show any much of a performance improvement of blacks over blues. all you really get is a longer warranty. green drives are a little slower, roughly 15-25% in worst case scenerios.

if you want a performance mechanical drive get a hitachi/hgst 7k.
