Personally I haven't had a problem with it. My only regret is that I
have a relatively small hard drive and for reasons that I don't fully
understand OS X is much happier with a bunch of spare drive space =

If you have a Time Machine backup of your whole machine, you can just
upgrade the physical harddisk to a newer, larger model, boot the install
DVD and tell it when it asks that you have a Time Machine backup, and
let it roll in.

Last time I did it, I had a completely upgraded machine in 3 hours and
could continue from there.

I am about to do it again with a 640 Gb drive. EyeTV gobbles up disk
space faster than anything I've ever seen before :)
