“Is a 128GB SSD big enough for a desktop computer?”

It might be, depending on how you set things up.

Very broadly speaking, a PC works best with at least 15–25% of empty space on the drive for page files, hibernation files, caches, and such. So, a 128GB drive might be fine if you have less than maybe 100GB of live apps and files that you need to have on the disk at all times.

If you need more storage than that, but still want a modest-sized SSD, offload your less-important files to an external USB drive, or to a cloud account; keep only your most important and most speed-critical stuff on the SSD.

But note: SSD prices are in near free-fall; you may find that larger SSDs are much less expensive than you thought!
