I did it (and am working on cumes/groups now) on my 170 a few days 
ago. I replaced a 4GB load-source along the way that I'd been 
meaning to get around to for a couple years.

In any case, no problems -- once I recovered from the aborted 
image-catalog first attempt and got the fixing PTFs in place. But 
that was unrelated to 8GB load-source drives. AFAIK, it technically 
needs around 4.8GB or so; but that means it spills over to the 8GB 
range.
