I like to give cool names to my files, computers, external disks, etc. My MacBook Air has 500 GB of storage, but because of video editing and so much local stuff like photos, music, etc., I keep a 1 TB external SSD with me all the time.

The name I came up with for it a long time ago was “Extra Air.”

Every time I look for it and click on that name, I have this inward smile. When my eyes finally lock onto it on the Finder sidebar, moving the mouse pointer to click feels like reaching for extra air to keep everything running on my Air 😉.
