The HDD you selected is actually a bit slower. It ranks 40th in speed instead of 29th.

If speed important or not bothered by the extra few ££ in costs, get the WD Black, else get the WD Blue.

I've heard that the WD blue is more reliable, so I think I may go with that, thanks for the input anyway.

It is a lot more reliable. WD is known for making higher quality SSDs.
