Randomly
No. Linked lists require traversal, and are therefore accessed sequentially. For random access you need an array. An array of pointers to the data in your list would do, but you will incur an overhead in creating the array on top of the list.

Sequentially
In a word, none. Linked lists are sequential and must be traversed sequentially. For random access you need an array, but you lose the efficiency of a list when it comes to insertion/deletion.
Assuming no fragmentation, a hard drive reads data faster sequentially.
A cassette tape is an example of a sequentially accessed medium. Data on a cassette tape is stored linearly, requiring the tape to be fast-forwarded or rewound to access specific data points.
No, it doesn't. It has nothing that could be accessed by USB anyway.
The file(s) (data) which are accessed in a sequential or a orderly manner is called as a sequentially accessing a file.
Magenetic tape drives are obsolete. They were used to record data on the magnetic tapes.The data was accessed sequentially.

An example of an application where data in a file should be accessed sequentially is a log file reader. Log files, often used for tracking system events or user activities, are typically structured in a time-ordered format. Accessing the data sequentially allows for efficient processing and analysis of events as they occurred over time, ensuring that the context of each entry is preserved and making it easier to identify patterns or issues.
Of Course. RAM= Random Access Memory, so yes, you CAN randomly access your RAM... And you Probably ARE RIGHT NOW!
