I bought my first one in late 1997..for like 300 bucks (got a wuper deal) was a 4x2x4X CD RW.
But yes, early on they were definitely NOT consumer products.
The lab I worked in in college had a JVC 1x cd writere that was in a small tower case and had an 800 MB hard drive in it to mirror the data before burning. I think they told me the lab had bought it in 1994 for $11,000.
Here is a link to a page abotu the history:
