Well, it's neither, and both. It's classified as an input/output device. Or I/O.
both
yes its input but somewhere i had read its both input and output ,but i cannt understand why its output . regards Hashaam zahid hashaamzahid3@gmail.com
I expect you mean "Is Card reader/writer input or output?". If this is so, it is both an input and output device. Whenever you are trying to categorize a device as Input or Output, think of how it looks from the computer.If the computer is transmitting data to it, it is an Output device.If the computer is receiving data from it, it is an Input device.
The sound card of a computer provides an output - speaker or headphone) and usually an input too - microphone.The card itself is not an output but is an I/O device(input output device) [a bit of semantics here].
Generally yes, however some video cards also accept input from other devices.
yes it probably be a output device .....you may check further too
Neither, it is a storage device (removable storage).
I Really Love Tech And I Think You Are All WRONG. It's Neither! It's NOT An Input. And It's NOT An Output! IT'S A STORAGE DEVICE!

It would definitely be both. Output because it sends out information, and input because it then receives information.
Input I would have thought.If you are refering to the big readers of the 80-column punched card then they are Input devices. But many of these devices were made so that they could also be used for output - ie for punching cards - these are both Input and Output devices.A card reader is an INPUT (not imput) device.Whenever you are trying to categorize a device as Input or Output, think of how it looks from the computer.If the computer is transmitting data to it, it is an Output device.If the computer is receiving data from it, it is an Input device.
A motherboard is nor an output nor an input device. It is in the middle of these two and is a processing hardware device
A video card is part of the output chain but is not an output device on it's own. The monitor is usually the device that is considered an "output device".
