    If you are using an FX laptop or another one with an accessible hard drive bay and if in the instruction booklet it explains how to add/replace a hard drive then it won't void your warranty but if you ship your laptop in for repairs there is no guarantee they will give you your hard drive back although I think they do under most circumstances.
