A choice between an $800 external SSD or a new top-tier graphics card? I know which one I'd pick.

I absolutely know which one I would pick. A 2TB external SSD would make my life a heck of a lot easier. I could run the same install of an OS on all 3 computers I use and not have to transfer files over the network or sneaker net USB drives from room to room to work. That would be amazing, and being an SSD would be worlds faster than my current 2TB mechanical solution. So, had I the $800 that 2TB one would be mine... as it is I'm probably picking up the 500GB and using local drives in each system for storage... oh to be rich.

Do not repeat the same over different contiguous table cells!

What about full benchmarks with sequential read/write and random rad/write (IOPS)?
