Is platter a input device or output device?
An interesting question. Typically, devices fall into a category of 'input' or 'output'. A monitor, for example, would universally be regarded as an output device. A keyboard, an input device. A platter, which I'm assuming is a hard drive platter and not a delicious halal meal, falls neatly into both catgeories. It is an input device when data is being read from it, and an output device where data is being read to it.

Do hard drives have magnetic cylinders that store information?
Yes. The magnetic 'platters' that store the information are arranged horizontally and are 'read' by an arm that swings over them. Think of an album on a turntable with the needle arm and you have a picture of one single set of such devices. Each drive is comprised of many sets of these in tight alignment, held in place by a spindle. The arm is held to tight tolerances and does not touch the platter but can read and write data to it by changing the magnetic state of the 'bits' on the platter. The density of the bits and the speed of the platter determine size of the drive (capacity) and it's cost.
