I just kept my photos on a drive attached to my Airport Extreme base station until I recently bought a 500 GB drive for my 2008 MBP (non-unibody). That was convenient when I was in the house, but sucked if I was traveling - although I was able to use Back to my mac - slowly. I'll be upset if it affects my AppleCare, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. If push comes to shove, I'll slip the old HDD back in before I take it for service.
