Ive had good luck with used enterprise hdds. They are loud but have always worked fine. I like buying them all at once from the same seller, but I've mixed and matched as well.
I personally don't think smart errors are the end of the world either. A few of them on something large like 14tb isn't the end of the world. I've had more issues with brand new seagate 8tb than anything I've gotten used.
I suppose I could pull the entire site and delete the fluff afterwards, but that seems like a very long and resource intensive process for such a small grab.
I want to archive just this auction, mainly the photos but the closing prices would be nice too. So my goal is either a folder of photos, or that and a browsable offline copy.
Simply right clicking and saving works decently enough but surely there is a faster way. There are 16 pages and I'm actually doing 2 separate auctions.
My usual script for a webpage is crawling the whole site and pulling various vendor information instead of just this webpage. My script usually doesn't do that so I'm thinking it's something to do with how the site is structured.
wget -p --convert-links -e robots=off -U mozilla --no-parent https://www.resauctions.com/auctions/24572-two-day-richard-and-mary-lou-taylor-lifetime-collection-absolute-auction?page=2
Any advice would be appreciated.
