I need an SSD for the following things:

  • Windows 10
  • Ubuntu (as a parallel system to choose after switching on the computer)
  • NetBeans IDE
  • local PHP (XAMPP) server + project files

Is a 128GB large enough for those? I'd probably have to create multiple partitions for the two operating systems.

50GB is for each operating system will do, but you would be well advised to have a second conventional hard drive as well to use for other storing data exclusive of your project files. Your project files can be stored on either partition, see How to read ext4 partitions on Windows? and How to mount read-write an ext4 partition on Windows?.

SSDs slow down over time as they're filled up. You will need to keep 10-25% of the SSD empty for fast performance depending on the model of the SSD.

It will be enough. A time ago I had Windows 7 and Ubuntu on 120 GB drive (25 GB partition for Windows, 10 (system) + 2 (swap) for Ubuntu, rest for the data).
