I bought a DS fix WD Caviar Blue with a 500 gig, and I wanted to add Caviar Black 1TB (already acquire).at present, I know few people on the forum supported the primary drive having just a 500 gig, but because a Black is faster (and supposedly less susceptible to tear and wear) than a Blue, I think I should use the Black instead as the boot drive, even though it's a 1TB. Is there any reason for me not to do that?

Hallo Leishalynn,
I do not see any reason why you should not use the 1 terabyte hard drive as the primary hard drive as long is it is offering you the best of the speed during the booting process and also when performing other processes as compared to the 500 gig that you are currently using.
But just before you do that, I suspect that the 500 GB hard drive may not be fast enough because you have stored on it a lot of files and therefore lessening the memory space used for supporting the processes and hence the slowing down in performance. So just check that and remove any files that might taking a lot of space and see if the speed improves, since you might install the 1 GB hard disk as the primary hard drive and find that it is slow for the same reason which is crowding files on it.
