Direct. Data can be accessed directly without going through all the preceding data to find what is required. An example of serial access would be tape.
Serial attached
A hard disk's access time is faster than a floppy disk's primarily due to its design and technology. Hard disks use magnetic platters that spin at high speeds, allowing for quicker read/write operations, while floppy disks have slower, less efficient mechanisms. Additionally, hard disks feature more advanced data retrieval systems, such as faster read/write heads and higher data density, leading to reduced latency. These factors collectively enable hard disks to access data much more rapidly compared to floppy disks.
Yes, hard disks use direct access storage methods, allowing the read/write heads to access any part of the disk without needing to go through other data sequentially. This means that data can be retrieved or stored quickly, regardless of its physical location on the disk. This characteristic is essential for efficient data retrieval in computer systems.
yes
Fast Answer by Knot Year 12.
access to ram is a lot faster for your computer
In the same way how you access local disks, you just need to know an external drive name.
work station domain
hard disks are generally contains within the computer and contain FAR more memory than a floppy disk does. floppy disks generally contain 1.44 mb where as hard drives are constantly developing and are currently about 1TB MAX. floppy disks are external in the same way as CD's
no
Secondary Storage
To the IDE cable, 2 Hard disks can be connected as Master and Slave.(Hard disks that support IDE). 4 SATA ports could be used for 4 Hard Disks.
