If it's enough or not depends on what you intend to put on it, same as if it was a HDD. As for performance improvement, it's quite high but smaller SSDs are slower than larger counterparts. Combining smaller SSD with a larger HDD is the way to go. Higher performance of SSD and lower price/GB for other uses like personal files and non essential programs is cheapest combination. Actual formatted capacity is about 111GB.
Count on at least 20GB for W10 (without Hibernation file, hyberfill,sys, restore points and large virtual memory), about 10GB free for proper operation of windows and a gig or two for other stuff.

128 or 120 GB SSD is enough for those users who wants to install Win10 on it (including updates) and some other softwares like developing or graphics softwares etc.. But if you also want some specific games to be installed (not like size of AC origins) in it then 256gb will be needed.
