The difference between Blue and Black drives- The Black has a secondary processor for a small boost in performance and the cache is always 64mb where the Blue drives have a single processor and cache may be 16, 32 or 64MB. If you want faster boot times you should consider an SSD which will give you much faster performance.

I already explained it. It has a secondary processor for a small boost in performance over the blue drive. Either drive will work fine. The black is a small bit faster. If the price increase is too much then get the blue.
