There's already a 4 GB SSD for 1400 €, I read last week.
This ghost of "loosing the warranty" is one of manufacturers best beloved technique to cook their customers and make them responsible for failures which are cause by poor design or manufacturing.
It's not entirely correct, even if there are seals: If a replacement of the HD is done properly by you or a service institution, that can not be made responsible for the failure of a motherboard. Within the first half year the manufacturer has to prove it as your fault. After that, but within the first two years you have to prove that the failure was there from the moment you bought the device. That's customer protection law in Germany and I think, in EU as well, but with the latter I'm not sure.
