Hello,
I'm in the market for 1TB laptop drive and looking for advice between the two above models. The only difference I see is that the AV-25 - WD10JUCT drive has double the cache memory at 16MB but is intended for video streaming. The intended use is laptop general data storage, primarily photo storage at 20MB per photo. My Dell Precision M6500 laptop uses a SSD drive for boot and working data file storage. I don't find any test data for the WD10JUCT drive, so guessing that it's a new model.
Datasheets:

Blue: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/library/SpecSheet/ENG/2879-771437.pdf
Besides 16MB cache versus 8MB cache other advantage the AV-25 has over the Blue model is that the warranty is 3 years instead of 2 years.
