Floppy and CD drives are both Output and Input devices based on the context of their usage. For instance, you know that both the drives can read and write their respective media, i.e. input and output. But consider the case where you insert a pre-recorded CD or write-protected floppy into the drive, here the drive falls-back to being an input device. Classifying computer peripherals into I/O devices only is not very efficient now-a-days due to the Hybrid nature of these peripherals. So instead, classifying CD and Floppy drives as Storage Access Devices is more appropriate. The term access here has significance, since the drives itself do not store any data as opposed to common parlance, instead they simply access the Compact Disk and the Floppy Disk for the data.
Both.
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.
Both.
hai... the most input devices are keyboard, mouse etc and output device is monitor and may be the printers........
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.

A CPU is a central processing unit. It is neither an input nor an output device, but it is usually connected to both kinds of devices. An input device would be a keyboard or a mouse. And output device would be a printer, a hard or floppy drive, or a memory chip in a thumb drive.
A normal CD drive is an input device. A CD-R or CD-RW drive would do both input and output.
The Floppy Disk " Holder ? " The Drive is an Input and output Device for storage and transferring of information between Computer devices. But a Floppy Disk " Holder " I would think does either only Hold FLoppy Disk in area from not being mis-placed or lost or stolen from " Maybe "
Output devices. Anything that you receive is output. Input Devices: Keyboard mouse scanner CD drive a: drive Output Devices: Moniter Speakers Printer
A Floppy disc is a input device.
It depends how you define these terms. Technically it is both, since floppy drives can be written to as well as read from. However, the term 'output device' normally refers to a means to provide information to the user, such as a screen, printer or speakers. Since a floppy drive can not be used to output information directly to the user (only to another computer), it could equally be argued that it is an input device.
