Thanks Tim, I’ve been looking through this forum and your tape suggestions which I’m looking into in more detail now.
I am running a 2011 iMac, so I do have a Thunderbolt option.
For my current short term solution, I am moving all my media from my external backup to my local drive and working off of that. Is this a good idea for the time being or will I run into another type of issue this way (I’ve never seen anyone work with their media off of their internal hard drive, so just curious).
Thanks.
