Some storage/media devices can be considered input or output depending on what they're doing at the time. For instance, a CD-ROM drive can be considered an input device because data from a CD is put onto the computer. However, that same drive can also have burning capabilities, and in that function it's considered an output device because information is being put onto the CD from the computer. The same goes for other storage/media devices such as memory cards, USB thumb-drives, and the like.
