Update on the external drives: I ordered a Seagate 2TB drive from OWC, mounted it inside the Mercury Elite Pro mini enclosure, and used Time Machine to make a backup.
I erased the defective drive, copied the backup to it, and set Time Machine to back up to both. So far, so good. There was a some bother because of two defective FW800 cables, but I got it sorted. So, today, I was able to do some shooting =and= post a PESO. Cheers, and thanks to all who answered.
