Unless you’re editing SD or HD with a very small bitrate I wouldn’t recommend a spinning HDD. SSDs are so cheap these days that I would highly recommend getting something like this instead. Perhaps that’s where the confusion comes from. The only time I’d recommend spinning drives is if you’re putting them in an array; otherwise you’re going to be bottlenecked significantly by drive speed. Bus powered single disk spinning drives are good for transferring projects and temporary storage, but not do much for editing. An SSD like the one I linked on the other hand can be just as fast or even faster than a RAID with spinning drives, and both are 5-10 times faster than a single disk, bus-powered 7200 RPM drive. Plus they are a lot lighter and smaller.
If I had to guess, the reason people were telling you to edit off of the internal drive is because of speed. The SSDs in modern MacBooks and MBPs are much faster than most off-the-shelf SSDs, so if you’re working with something like uncompressed 4K you may see an improvement there. However, I regularly edit projects using multiple angles of 4K and up to 6 channels of audio in multicam clips, and my little bus-powered drive is more than fast enough for that. Actually, it’s fast enough that the computer itself is slowing me down more than drive speed (13” fully specced 2016 MBP, for reference).
I have been using it for about a year, and it was very easy to use. I would recommend buying a cheap one on amazon for cheap, like the Syma X11 quadcopter which is a good beginner drone that has the same controls as the DJI Phantom.
I'm using an EVGA GTX 980Ti on an unmodified 2010 Mac Pro. You install the Nvidia Web Driver and you can just plug the card and run it without issue.
There are some drawbacks, such as not having a boot screen and having to swap out GPUs every time you run an update.
Don't do system updates without first checking on driver compatibility.
EDIT: It seems to work just fine with FCP X as Nvidia supports both CUDA and OpenCL, so kind great to have the best of both worlds. Also nice to be able to plug 3 4K monitors.
I've used and like the Logitech K750. It's wireless, but occupies a USB port with its small dongle. Being solar powered, you never have to replace batteries, which I enjoy. The keys are a bit soft, but not in a way that bothered me. Current price on Amazon is $50, and it usually hovers between $50-60, but drops below $40 from time to time (price history).
I see that Macally also has a solar extended keyboard, including a model that is bluetooth (so, no usb receiver). More expensive, but it is space gray. :-)

At work, I use the Satechi Aluminum USB Wired Keyboard and at home, I use the Azio Mk Mac Wired USB Backlit Mechanical Keyboard
I like them both equally, TBH.

I'd suggest you use a 3½-inch 7200 rpm USB3 disk. These have a price cut at Amazon.
