Unless your installed programs and operating system are filling up your drive, you can likely migrate your movies, music, and other large media to an external volume to free up space on your boot drive without going through the hassle of replacing it.
Generally if you are just looking to increase the storage capacity of your drive, my initial recommendation is to consider other options for managing your data. While most Macs ship with 500GB to 1TB drives that should be adequate for most home purposes, you can now get up to 3TB of data on a single drive, and the standard 7,200rpm mechanical drive crawls in comparison to the performance of some SSD drives these days. One is to increase your available storage capacity, and another is to better the performance of your drive. There are a couple of reasons-besides replacing a broken drive-why you might consider swapping out your Mac's hard drive.
