The slower hard drive holds data and apps you don't use very often, while the smaller 128GB of Flash Storage quickly loads the operating system and the apps and files you use everyday. If you need more memory, a hatch opens on the back of the desktop, exposing two free DIMM slots, letting you easily increase the RAM to a maximum of 32GB. You can't as simply upgrade the system's hard drive, however. It is doable with a lot of time and determination, but you'll need specialized tools to get into the chassis. It's much easier to upgrade the storage from a selection of Flash Storage and Fusion Drive options when you order the system.
