You don't want to use the purple it is mostly to record video from survailance cameras.
If you want good performance and a longer warranty the wd Black would be the best if you want performance and not going to use a ssd.
Next would be the WD blue which is their consumer drive and has good performance a slightly shorter warranty than the black and less performance.
The Black is thire performance drive. I don't use seagate so I can't comment on them. I have a 500gb ssd then a 1tb blue to store stuff on my pc

Hi there Shady45,

Regarding the WD drives you have listed, I would say that WD Blue would be the better choice. WD Purple features IntelliPower and it is a drive designed to be used in surveillance systems(as one of the other drives as well).
WD Red is a NAS drive. It has features that make it reliable in NAS and RAID environments. Again, it may not be the best choice when you need OS+gaming drive.

Another drive drive you can take a look at is WD Black. It is a performance oriented drive with 5 years of limited warranty.
More on WD Black's features: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=Wv22di

I may be a good idea to wain for some more opinions as well. :D

Cheers,

Its called a hybrid drive. If you want more details go to seagates website.
Solid State Drive Technology Inside Your SSHD
SSHD technology uses the right amount of ultra-fast NAND flash (the same type used in SSDs) to increase system performance. Seagate Adaptive Memory™ technology effectively identifies the most frequently-used data and stores it in the NAND flash. The results give you greatly improved boot times, application loads and overall system responsiveness.

Eliminates the firmware complexity of system-level integration of SSD & HDD
Innovative integration improves system reliability and data integrity
No special software required; installs and works just like a typical hard drive
