Speaking of OS/boot drive, I actually wasn't considering to an HDD for boot anymore. So, the HDD I need, would be I would say 50% of a primary use, where a reliable SSD that I would need to chose would cover remaining 50% + OS/boot.
As you said GLC, you would prefer WD AV-GP to the WD Green for low-power. How much more power WD black requires? If the difference is not considerable I would go with WD black.
