Wd green 3.5" vs. Wd blue 2.5"

Solution
Hi there Martin1982,

It is really up to you to decide:
WD Green would be the better choice for just storing data on it. Also, it offers greater capacity and runs cool and quiet.
WD Blue would be the better choice in case you want to run applications and games off of it. You may get slightly better performance. Yet, it really shouldn't be that noticeable.

Let me know in case you have some more questions,

Do WD Green still need that WIDDLE program run on them to stop them from parking every 8 seconds?
I just received my 3TB WD Green in the post. It's Product number appears to be WD30EZRX.
