Yes, drift.  I read that if you try to use the full partition some of the OS
files can drift outside the partition and you can't boot the drive.  I think
what that means is the read/write blocks can get corrupted.  This is
something some users reported happening to them. I never took a chance I
always formatted the main boot drive under the 128GB limit.  Since this has
never happened to me I can only share what I read.  I must have received
some misinformation if this is not true.  Thanks for sharing the tip.
