Hard drive decisions

Guys, I am looking to replace my faulty 2nd HDD and don't know what to go for, any advice?
I have a ssd as primary drive already.
I was thinking about a WD 1tb black 7200, but noticed that there are other colours in the WD range and don't really know the difference.
Any advice greatly appreciated before I spend some cash...

Cheers

WD Blacks are the premium performance drives with Reds coming in second for always on devices such as NAS drives, then you have Blue's and Greens which I think are slow drives at 5400rpm designed for budget conscious, purely data storage with minimal access.

Go for WD Black.

If your motherboard supports m.2 consider this, especially if the interface runs at full 4x speed,
they are the fastest drives available, about 4 times faster than a good ssd roughly, and they have
come down in price. The samsung 950/951 are very good.
