Output
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.
Zip drives are both input-output and storage devices.
A disk drive is all three, depending on the situation. It is an input device when it provides stored data to an application. It is an output device when it receives data from an application. It is a storage system when it saves the data for future use.
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.
when any kind of information is received to you in any way weather hard disk or soft disk is known as output device .
The CDs themselves are neither. A compact disk is a storage medium, not an input/output device.

Disk drive storage can be both an input and an output device.
Harddisk is an input as well as an Output Device.
output device
the magnatic disk is both as input and output media
Since you can both read from (input) and write to (output) a hard disk, it is considered both an input and an output device.
Hard disk drives are storage devices, they use an I/O buffer so to answer your question, they are both. I/O stands for input/output. Speakers are a good example of an output device. The mouse is a good example of an input 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.
Technically speaking it is both. It can read as well write information.
