I want to replace my Samsung 5 year old 250 gb with a WD Black 2TB or
equavilent Seagate.

Are these drives good as OS drives? Any concerns with them. I've used WD
greens as storage. good drive quiet, not as slow as I was led to believe
but then again they are storage.

Great in-depth reviews at http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/

How slow were you led to believe WD Greens would be, and was that
