Hi Ramy, It all depends on how much data you normally save to your drive. The MacOS will fit fine on a 128 GB SSD with lots of space for regular data. If you start putting lots of media like music, movies etc on it, then 128 may be a little tight. The MacOS normally uses 20 to 40 GB, so you can make your decision from there.
