Hey, PCGeneral is real busy so im not getting an answer.
I'm getting a replacement Harddrive as my current HDD has crapped out on me and won't boot up. (the error being it asking for a boot device). My plan is to upgrade at the same time, and the plan is to go from a 2TB to a 3TB HDD and 120gb~ SSD combo. I'll be ordering from newegg and was wondering about recommendations. my current budget is 125-160.
Also, what experience have you had with their refurbished parts? are the good to use?

Hard drives are basically all the same these days. Just get whatever's cheapest. But be sure to avoid "refurbished" or "recertified" drives. They're more likely to fail and sometimes they forget to wipe them.

aren't they also under warranty?

I mean, even if theyre refurbished, they're under warranty, so if it does mess up i can replace it, right?

Hitachi/HGST is the only correct answer

This is fact. Had a Hitachi drive for quite a while now, and no problems

this is the one i was recommended to from the other thread, https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822149633
I wasnt able to find much in the way of HGST that would match in price to what i want with the SSD. Right now my ssd of choice is either https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178966
or https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820242399
