I suppose you can use it without any problem provided you write it at a 
somewhat reduced speed. I would say, go ahead and move the dvd writer 
over. The worst that can happen is that you might get some error and an 
unusable dvd.

You can be the first :) Try writing a dvd and see if you face any problems.

At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer, you will 
find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the 
computer.
