    "Great Computer but mislabeled Hard Drive capacity...But Best Buy needs to update the description of both ThinkStation P348 desktops, It comes with a 512 GB SSID Drive....I bought this computer as a backup for my HP Envy desktop. My only reservation before purchasing it was that I wanted more USB ports in the back of the tower rather than the split (front/rear) configuration it comes with but I can live with that since adding a USB card to the rear using an available PCI slot is an option.
