Neither.
Look for a 240GB+ instead of a 120GB.

Why?
1. A 128 will work, but it is marginally too small.
2. AS SSDs get larger, the speed and lifespan increase.
3. The price v size heavily leans toward the 240GB or larger, vs the 128GB.

850 EVO m.2. Only IF your current motherboard has the capability to boot from that.
Does it?
