Black is better than blue.

The black HDD is a great hard drive and is very reliable, but the blue is fine for a budget

Black is better and faster with 5 year warranty.

Black is better and faster with 5 year warranty.

But more expensive

Hey there, Radyan Nugroho!

Since you will be having the SSD as your boot drive and you are not planning to install and use the heavy apps and games on your HDD, then you should be perfectly satisfied with the WD Blue as well.

WD Black is really good and it does have the 5-year warranty advantage but I guess if you are not using it for demanding software applications, I don't think you will be able to notice its advantage.
You can check more of its specs here: http://goo.gl/62FGgc

As for the Blue, we recommended for general use because it will provide your PC with solid performance: http://goo.gl/EafS2h

As for your other question, I think it's best if you install the drivers together with the OS on the SSD.
If you want to use the HDD as a secondary storage for your video, music, etc. you can simply redirect your Downloads folder to a new location on your HDD. Here's a tutorial: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/redirect-folder-new-location#1TC=windows-7
