Default Hard drive question.

Will a person see any performance difference between the 1GB Green WD and the 1Gb caviar black WD?

There will be a slight difference. If you're running the OS off of the drive, the difference is large enough where I'd recommend using the Black. For simple storage, I'd say that the Green is just fine.
