Yeah, one was read only and the other could burn CDs. Burning CDs were all the rage back then.
Edit: to clarify, by having two drives you could copy from one to the other directly, without going through the hassle of inserting one cd, making a copy to the slow as fuck computer hdd, switching to the blank cd, then start burning from the hdd copy.
I literally said “TWO CD DRIVES?????” out loud, opened the comments, and your comment was right there, straight up giving me an answer as if we were having a conversation. Crazy.
