I have an SSD (along with a USB SATA enclosure to connect it), a spinning disk, and at least one USB thumb drive in my bag that I bring to work every day (along with my laptop). This is in part because I switch between working from home and working at the office fairly often, have travel time in between, and need to have access to more VMs than I can fit on my laptop's internal SSD comfortably. I also may have SIM cards rattling around somewhere; when I travel internationally, I buy a local prepaid SIM, and I may have older SIM cards left over from the last time I replaced one.

It's valid for your usecase, but I still agree with your parent comment that your bag's contents are unusual.

Exactly the same with me, I regret only getting the 256GB internal drive with my Thinkpad but I wanted the 2560x1440 so I had to trade something off (since it's a personal machine not a work machine), I suspect I'll be upgrading it before long.
