Please, please PLEASE, move the "Eject disk" far away from "Erase disk" on that right click menu. The one where you can open or get info on an external drive. I've inadvertently wiped two disks over the years and nearly did a third one yesterday. And, apparently, there's no coming back. Thank you

There are alternatives to ejecting drives that may suit you better, most simple is drag&drop it on the trash can to eject.
or from the Terminal... example
diskutil umount /Volumes/Untitled

You can also show your externally connected drives on the Finder's Sidebar and use the "Eject" icon there to eject the volume/drive.

I'm prefer Command-E (⌘E) for Eject disk.
I've always tried to learn the keyboard equivalents. It helps speed my workflows.
Thanks. I usually do that. I realize I'm going to have to take the external drives off the desktop. It's convenient to see them there, though. Oh well. Thanks again. But I sure would like to see those two "E" words separated by another word, and have the font larger for us "older" users.
Erase disk command. Help
