I want to get a hard drive for just my os, what is the best one I can get for around 80$
Ssd or a 10k rpm?

For around $80? Not likely.

Yeah, might as well roll with an ssd for the crazy boot times if it's only for the OS, you can probably fit a few games in there as well.

OP did ask for a Hard Drive Disk.
and you can pick up a 1TB, used, for around $80 on ebay.
