I've done this many times for clients - with OWC's USB bare drive adapter or their voyager quad interface bare drive dock. SuperDuper will make a bootable copy of your internal MacBook drive, and you will probably need to re-authenticate only a few of the more paranoid and pricier apps if any at all.
- Connect the new drive to your USB SATA adapter/dock/whatever...
- Use Disk Utility to partition the new drive GUID and HFS+ Extended Journaled...
- Use Super Duper to copy your internal drive to the new one...
- Restart from the new drive (while still docked) to make sure life is good...
- Seven screws later your new drive will be inside your MacBook.
