Yes, hard disk drives (HDDs) operate sequentially in terms of data access. When data is stored on an HDD, it is written in contiguous blocks on spinning platters, and the read/write head moves to access these blocks sequentially. This means that accessing large files or sequential data is generally faster than accessing fragmented files, which can require the read/write head to move more frequently. However, compared to solid-state drives (SSDs), HDDs are slower due to their mechanical nature.
