I'm definitely thinking of picking up a 13" MBPr sometime soon within the month, but I'm stuck in between the 128GB model and the 256GB model. I could easily store all my other information on an external drive if I end up running out of space, but does storage capacity affect system performance at all? Thanks!

Generally, a smaller SSD performs slower.
When it gets full, it may affect system performance.

You can always store your media on a external hard drive (photos, music, movies) and keep your software on the Mac.
Alright, I'll definitely take the larger 256GB into consideration. Thanks for all the responses!
