That's an output device, because your getting information off the computer and onto the CD.
Input, because you are inserting data into your computer.
the CD-RW is an Input Device.

A CD-ROM (using a player) is an input device because it holds information that is readable. There are writable and re-writable CD's which allow you to add or remove information making it an output device (storage device) as well.
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.
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.
The devices that perform both input AND output operations are referred to as I/O (input/output) devices and their operations are called I/O operations. Examples of common input and output components are disk drives and modems. A touch screen monitor on an ATM or a video game controller that shakes when the player is hit can both be considered an I/O device. A CD or DVD burner would also be an I/O device, since it can both read and write data to discs.
Input devices are the hardware that give computers instructions. Output devices relay the response from the computer in the form of a visual response (monitor), sound (speakers) or media devices (CD or DVD drives). The purpose of these devices is to translate the machine's response to a usable form for the computer user.
a CD is an output device that can be used as a storage or input device
it is input
A CDROM drive is neither an input device or an output device. A CDROM drive is a storage device.
A CD is a storage device.
A CD is a storage device.
output device
It is both an input and output device
output device
A normal CD drive is an input device. A CD-R or CD-RW drive would do both input and output.
A CD or DVD drive is a media device. Data is usually read from it, but data can also be sent to it if it has writing capabilities.

No CD-ROM means Compact Disc Read-Only Memory. CD-ROM is an input device. However, CD-RW (Compact Disc Read Write) is both a input and output device.
