It's both. You can read the data on the disk making it an input device, and you can write data to the disk making it an output device.
A floppy disk is a storage device. There is often confusion about this, as the user could be seen to be "inputting data" by inserting a disk or "outputting" by removing it, but in actuality the floppy disk is a storage device.
A disk drive could be considered both, because it provides information or accepts information. But as a system, disk drives (CD, DVD) and hard drives are considered storage devices.
A keyboard or mouse would be an input device, and a monitor or printer would be an output device.
it all depends on which disk drive you are referring to. some (DVD-RW, CD-RW, Floppy) are both input and output. so, the answer may vary according to what disk drive you are talking about. hope i helped!
Neither!
The diskette is a storage media. The diskette drive is storage device.
A diskette can be both an input and an output device.
It is neither. A floppy disk is a storage device. It is a floppy disk drive that is an input and output device. It can read from or write to disks.
Both. You can output data to it and retrieve data from it.
It is an output device, in that the information from the computer is made portable.
is diskette a hardware or software?
its both its an input and output device
The Floppy Disk " Holder ? " The Drive is an Input and output Device for storage and transferring of information between Computer devices. But a Floppy Disk " Holder " I would think does either only Hold FLoppy Disk in area from not being mis-placed or lost or stolen from " Maybe "
It's a storage device, much like a flash drive or dvd drive now.
Disk drive storage can be both an input and an output device.
It depends how you define these terms. Technically it is both, since floppy drives can be written to as well as read from. However, the term 'output device' normally refers to a means to provide information to the user, such as a screen, printer or speakers. Since a floppy drive can not be used to output information directly to the user (only to another computer), it could equally be argued that it is an input device.
Harddisk is an input as well as an Output Device.
output device
A drive, whether a hard disk disk, flash memory drive, or floppy disk drive is a peripheral device that can be used for both input and output. This is in contrast to certain devices that can be used for only for output like monitors (non touch screen) and devices which can only be used for input like keyboards.
the magnatic disk is both as input and output media

A microphone and a computer mouse has only an output. That is an input device. A loudspeaker and a printer has only an input. That is an output device. A read-write CD/DVD, floppy disk, tape drive, and hard drive are all I/O devices because they can be used to store and retrieve data.
Since you can both read from (input) and write to (output) a hard disk, it is considered both an input and an output device.
