I had an Apple PowerCD back in the day.

It was really slow -- specifically, it was a single speed CD-ROM drive. And as a reminder to you young folks, single speed CD-ROM drive read speed was 0.15 megabytes per second (Compare that to today's NVMe drives that have a sustained read speed of 7500-14500 megabytes per second).

But hey, like everything Apple, it looked really cool!
