    Question Replacing laptop optical drive, power consumption question

    I have a Inspiron 17R 5721 looking to replace a dead DVD drive. The "new" Used replacement has a build date about 1 year before the original and is rated higher at 1.6 Amps vs 1.5 amps. Both are 5v. Will this be an issue in any way?
