Go external first via FW 800. Don't listen to anyone who says you won't see a benefit- they have not personally experienced it.
I don't know about the adapter. The Mini Stack looks like a good value-- do you really need the software bundle?
The only SSD I've had has been the Sandisk Extreme 128 GB (I'm booting my 2009 mini from one and my 2010 iMac from the other.) I've been thrilled with them for a year now.
Both are only about half full, and I have more than apps and OS on them.
On my iMac I've been fighting to keep total files at 900 GB or below for a few years now.
I can walk you through how to split up your files when you have it in hand.
