storage device storage device
absolutely not , bus is just a data transfer media, we can't say it as input or output device
the magnatic disk is both as input and output media
added device called networking
It would be considered a storage device as you can give or receive information from the device.
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.
Patent application 2003/0095096 is for improved approaches for users of computing devices to interact with graphical user interfaces. According to one aspect, a rotational user action supplied by a user at a user input device is transformed into linear action with respect to a graphical user interface. According to another aspect, a portion of an extended list of items is displayed by a graphical user interface and, through rotational user actions at a user input device, the portion of the list being displayed can be varied with welcomed ease of use. Although the type of computing device can vary, the improved approaches are particularly well-suited for use with a portable media player. Claim 1 recites a portable media player, comprising: a storage disk drive that stores media content for each of a plurality of media items; a display screen that displays a portion of the media items at a time; a user input device that enables a user of said portable media player to at least select a particular media item from the plurality of media items through a rotational action with respect to said user input device; and a processor operatively connected to said storage disk drive and said user input device, said processor controls said portable media player to play the media content of the particular media item that was selected using said user input device.
If you are talking about off-the-shelf DVD players then it's an output device( display data read to video terminal [i.e. Projectors, TV's], but if you are talking about DVDRW devices then it's an input and output device. If you are talking about a DVD media, if it's just ordinary DVD-ROM then it's just input. But if you're talking about DVD-R or DVD-RW media then it's an input and output media.

Removable media, such as USB drives or external hard drives, can be easily detached from a device, allowing for portability and data sharing. Non-removable media, like internal hard drives or solid-state drives, are fixed within a device and cannot be disconnected without opening the device.
Patent Application 2003/0095096 issued as United States Patent No. 7,345,671 on 18 March 2008. 7,345,671 is titled "METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USE OF ROTATIONAL USER INPUTS". At a very general level, the patent is directed to the clickwheel of an iPod. For more specific details, please refer to the claims. Claim 1 is copied below. 1. A portable media player, comprising: a storage device that stores media content for each of a plurality of media items; a display screen that displays a portion of the media items at a time; a user input device having an exposed upper surface that enables a user of said portable media player to at least identify a particular media item from the media items being displayed through a rotational action with respect to the exposed upper surface of said user input device, wherein said user input device comprises a rotary dial and a button, and wherein the button is provided at the center of the rotary dial; and a processor operatively connected to said storage device and said user input device, said processor controls said portable media player to play the media content of the particular media item that was identified using said user input device, wherein, responsive to the rotational action with respect to the exposed upper surface of said user input device, visual feedback is provided on said display screen.
