How I learnt to chill out when my hard disk broke down...

So I've been using a Time Capsule for some time now to back up my work MacBook Pro, and about 6 month ago I attached to it a 500GB Western Digital external USB hard disk to have Time Machine doing backups of the other Macs at home (I work from home). Worked like a charm and has always been for 6 month (apart from a problem with the latest 7.4.1 TC/Airport firmware update, but I'll leave that for another post). Then, over last week-end, the backups started to take ages, and failed quite often (those on the Time Capsule's internal HDD were still running fine). I'd have to unplug the USB HDD, turn it off for a moment then plug it back in to have it recognised by the TC. Hmm So I disconnected it from the TC and plugged it directly to my MacBook Pro and ran Disk Utility on it, which reported, gasp,   May 25 14:30:59 rangiroa kernel[0]: disk1s2: I/O error. May 25 14:30:59 rangiroa kernel[0]: disk1s2: I/O error. May 25 14:30:59 rangiroa kernel[0]
