The hard drive of a computer is a storage device: it contains the operating system and any data or program files used by the computer.
Although a hard drive both accepts input and provides output, it is not accessed directly by the user in either of these functions.
A flash drive, CD, DVD, or external drive are other storage devices or media. In early computers, drives wrote to removable disks as CD burners and DVD burners do today.
These types of media-writing hardware are considered output devices.
Some people that there are three types of devices, not two: "input devices", "output devices", and "storage devices." With that set of definitions, a hard drive would be neither an input device nor an output device, but would sit firmly in the third category, as a storage device
What else can I help you with?
Is disk drive an example of output device?
No a disk drive is neither input or output device, it is an optical disk drive (for CD/DVD's) and a disk drive (for hard drives) would be a storage device.
Is a hard disk drive input or out put?
A hard disk drive (HDD) is neither an input nor an output device. It is a Storage Device. It helps to store the data in a Non-Volatile form (i.e Data stored in Hard Drive is not lost even after it's power source removed) and data can be retrieved at any time by enabling power for the Hard Drive.
The main storage device on your computer is the?
Hard disk drive.
Is the Floppy disk an input device or output device?
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.
Is a drive a input or an output?
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.
Is a hard disk an input or an output?
Harddisk is an input as well as an Output Device.
What are hard disk drive?
Hard disk drive is a storage device.its is a non-volatile storage device
What receives data from the CPU?
1) Any output device, such as a screen, speaker, or printer.2) Any storage device, such as a hard disk or flash drive.
How does the output device on a computer work?
when any kind of information is received to you in any way weather hard disk or soft disk is known as output device .
Can the hard disk of today used as input or output explain?
Since you can both read from (input) and write to (output) a hard disk, it is considered both an input and an output device.
Is a Hard Drive an output device?
No, it is a mass storage device.
Is a memory stick an input device or a output device?
No, it is an external data storage device. Analogous in function to an external hard disk drive, but all solid state with no moving parts.
