There is a compatibility issue with doing this, which is fairly easy to avoid. The older versions of CDTK, which is what our systems shipped with, do not work properly (forget the exact symptoms) if the cache space for the CD is on an HFS+ volume. So you must either disable the caching feature in the CDTK CP and take the performance hit, or make sure you have an HFS Standard volume at which you can point the cache space. There still may be issues with using too old of a version of CDTK with later OSs though. I'd recommend getting something up to date, either commercial or hack.
