Peter,

Having just switched to an Air a few months ago, I have similar issues. 
Since I am travelling a lot, I can?t rely on a NAS. 

My current solution is a fast PNY 128GB USB3 flash drive for extra working 
storage and a 2TB USB3 HDD for bulk storage and backup. You can use a SSD 
rather than a HDD if you want more speed and is willing to accept less 
storage. A faster USB3 stick solution would be something like a Kingston 
Data Traveler HyperX Predator (who dreams up these names?). 

My preferred solution would be Thunderbolt-connected 1TB PCIe flash (one of 
these days :).

Regards,
Spencer
