Hey there, nitinkene16576.

Well, basically those drives are used for different purposes.

The WD Black drive comes with a 5-year limited warranty and the WD Red drive has a 3-year limited warranty.

In my opinion you could go with either of those two drives, but I guess I'd go with the WD Black if I were you, since this is the performance model and you've mentioned that your older drive couldn't withstand the load you put it through during the day.

You could take a closer look at both drives here:
WD Black
WD Red

Hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any questions.
