Ipad pro 2020

I'm a student and wants to buy the 2020 iPad pro, but I'm trying to choose between the 128GB or the 256GB. This iPad will mostly be used for taking notes and I will download some videos on this iPad.

If you're not going to install many apps and have many large videos / photos etc. 128GB may be enough for you. Bear in mind you can use external USB storage with a supported filesystem and doesn't require power beyond the iPad's ability (otherwise a powered hub may be needed) and you can easily access / store using online storage services such as iCloud, OneDrive and also SMB shares (NAS drives or computers) etc.

Of course any device could fill up to capacity if not careful and selective... I suppose the saving could contribute towards a keyboard / mouse / touch pad / whatever?
