In a short answer it is both.

I know this may sound mad but it is, don't forget it is a USB, a Universal serial bus.

UNIVERSAL being the main word....

Don't forget, when you save data to your external you are writing to it as an outport, through USB.

When you retrieve data from it, it now becomes an in - out port, USB again, hence you get something from it.

I hope that clears up your question.

If you Google the question, it may give you a better explanation or answer, than I have here..
