What storage requires sequential access of data?
magnetic disc
What requires sequential access?
TAPE!
What disk requires sequential access?
TAPE!
Which storage does NOT use direct access?
The most common type of storage that does not use direct access is tape storage. Tape uses sequential access, that requires to start from the beginning of the tape and go through the tape until you find the section you need. Direct access includes a directory that will let you go directly to the data you need.
What is most papular sequential access storage device?
magnetic tape
Which storage media provides sequential access only?
magnetic tape
Is floppy disk store sequential access files?
False. It is considered as direct access storage devive
What is a magnetic tape?
A magnetic tape is a secondary storage media used to access data in a sequential way
Which cache algorithm will optimize a storage arrays Input and Output response time if sequential access is detected?
Read Ahead
............. refers to reading and writing data consecutively?
sequential access
Sequential and random access memories?
give the examples of sequential access memory?
Compare and contrast sequential access storage vs direct access storage?
The terms direct access and random access describe the same concept. They mean that an element of data or instructions (such as a byte or word) can be directly stored and retrieved by selecting and using any of the locations on the storage media. They also mean that each storage position (1) has a unique address and (2) can be individually accessed in about the same length of time without having to search through other storage positions. For example, each memory cell on a microelectronic semiconductor RAM chip can be individually sensed or changed in the same length of time. Also, any data record stored on a magnetic or optical disk can be accessed directly in about the same period Sequential access storage media such as magnetic tape do not have unique storage addresses that can be directly addressed. Instead, data must be stored and retrieved using a sequential or serial process. Data are recorded one after another in a predetermined sequence (e.g., numeric order) on a storage medium. Locating an individual item of data requires searching the recorded data on the tape until the desired item is located. (Tha answer was got from Managment Information System book, written by James O'brien and George Marakas)
