Nope, it's a user-replaceable part. So go for it!

Great, thanks for the response.
I decided to go with the Seagate Momentus XT

Sweet. I'm really interested in that drive. I think my MacBook Pro's is on the way out, I'd love to replace it with one.

For the price, I don't think that you can go wrong. Currently the only thing I have to compare it to speed wise is my iMac 27 i7. I cannot say it is really a good comp... but for 125 us, the price is right. I will post some more thoughts on it when I use it a bit more.

PS. the screen is huge on the MBP 17!!!
