Is unused (Broken) CD/DVD Drive taking Up Space, Memory, etc?

My "E" internal drive on my laptop which plays Blu-ray and records CDR's & DVD's
physically broke- can't hold a disc nothing wrong with the software & I was better off getting a small external blu-ray DVD burner which does the same functions & which is powered completely by URB and is now the "D" drive.

My question is, since I no longer will be using this Internal "E" drive, will it be slowing down the laptop or have no affect being idle? If it will slow down the laptop, what exactly do you recommend I do? Thanks for any answers.
 
no it wont slow down your laptop by using resources, but if you are really that concerned about it, a couple screws and it should slide right out.

It isn't going to slow anything down. But if it was me, I'd replace the broken optical drive with a second harddrive for more storage space.:D
