Is it safe to use with the optical drive out? I just took it out and I don’t get the part until next week but I need to use my laptop… can I use it?

I needed to replace it because I dropped my laptop off the arm of the sofa with the drive open and falling on that side too.

Is it safe to use the laptop with the optical drive out?
