I had a fan that started making noise and Apple fixed it under warranty. Luckily I followed their suggestion and backed up (actually cloned my HD with CarbonCopyCloner) because, for some reason, they felt the need to erase the hard drive while replacing the fan.

So unless you're using the Apple Intermediate Codec, it isn't going to take up any more room than DV. That said, I've always got external HDs on my desk filled with video.
