I think I can spring the extra $15 for the Red, and on your advice will do so.
I know that at least for the mechanical spinning drives WD Reds are not really recommended for desktop usage (only for NAS or storage). For example, they have something called TLER (that can be disabled). But not sure about the SSDs. I would do some research and maybe even contact Western Digital? Not saying you shoudn't, but I would read about it a bit first.

Another question -- really a babe in the woods here -- will I need a trick cable or will my existing SATA cable work? I'm not seeing any pictures that show the connections. -- dep
