Yeah, I've read that the sweet spot should be around 512GBs. I can't really upgrade this laptop's internal storage, so I've been thinking about getting an external portable SSD with USB Type C which should be quite fast, but I haven't decide yet neither.
I had this problem when I had a 128 macbook pro. Totally worth it if your system is crapping out when you hit capacity and you don't want to upgrade your system.
USB-C should handle transfers just fine, you'd probably just get capped by the SSD's (and/or the enclosure too) read/write speeds. I never really found it a problem, I threw the ~50-60GB of photos which I don't access often in the SSD. I've now got a 512GB macbook pro which I struggle filling, it just floats around the ~200-300GB used mark now.

Thanks abuzo!
This will come in handy since I only have 128GB of storage on my machine.
yay! me too, 128gb is too small. hope that will help you!
actually, I was wondering if I should buy this jetdrive because of the storage shortage.
