Blue are also general use drives but can handle larger files easily.
Black is basically faster, more premium version of blue.
Red is for NAS, they're optimized for multiple people reading and writing to the drive at once.
Purple has very low write speeds and higher read speeds, used with surveillance software that will always only be writing to the drive at the speed the camera can capture.
Gold is like red, but beefier in specs and design, designed for heavy use of multiple users in enterprise environments.
or Seagate Skyhawk ..

Customer disservice, high probability of getting screwed if you get a DOA / quickly defective product, very possible problems with damage in transit vs. shipping & packaging, etc.
Direct from WD / whoever, probably a better choice.
Or somewhere with a defective item return policy that doesn't cost you shipping / fee money and involve a lot of hassle.

Breakdown of the lines:
Blue - Consumer grade. Low performance, quiet.
Black - Performance consumer / prosumer. The price/performance ratio basically renders this line pointless.
Red - NAS. Designed for 24/7 use but not the highest workload. Supports TLER (Time-Limited Error Correction).
Purple - DVR/NVR. Designed for continuous reading/writing, with minimal error correction. Quiet.
Gold/Ultrastar - Enterprise class. Designed for 24/7 use, with the highest workload. Fast and loud. Supports TLER.
