I have one warning if you are migrating. Newer drives are using native 4KB data clusters. Windows 7 (and probably 8) does not cope with some files built with 512B data being used on disks with 4KB data. That includes Windows Live Mail.
I had to find some 2nd hand 1TB disks to replace a failed one the RAID on in SWMBO's computer because I couldn't quickly find new ones with 512B data. I bought three just in case.
YMMV but be warned.
