Will an Xbox One X still function with a removed disk drive?

As the subject indicates, if I do not use any optical based games, will the Xbox still run with one not installed? Or will the PCB from the drive still at least need be connected? I ask because I will be installing my second Xbox into a custom case. Which I understand is warranty voiding, but it was bought used.

Is this a good question?

Yes it will work fine but keep in mind that at some point they might start doing what Sony is now doing…requiring a hardware check with each update. If the disc drive isn’t working on a PS4 then it won’t update.

you can attach the daughter board from the drive as a workaround that!
