i don't think it will void your warranty. if it does and you are worried you could always settle for an external device. i'll try to find that in the online manual or something...

Changing the HDD does NOT void your warranty in itself. However, if the PS3 gets damaged or whatever as a result of bad installion (on your part), or if the HDD somehow corrupts the PS3, then the warranty IS voided. But the chances of the HDD corrupting the PS3 is minimal, and if it's due to bad installion, well that's your fault anyway, and would be treated like any other mishap due to someone being stupid.

Hope that helps.

i dont think it would, i mean the ps2 didnt void your warrenty to add the HDD.. why would they give you the capability to add it, if that were the case? although it IS sony and they may try to get every cent they can out of you..
