Why can a random access storage device access informaion faster than a sequential storage device?

A random access storage device, like a hard drive or SSD, can access information faster because it allows for direct retrieval of data from any location without the need to read through other data sequentially. In contrast, a sequential storage device, such as magnetic tape, requires the system to process data in order, often resulting in delays as it moves to the desired location. This characteristic of random access significantly enhances speed and efficiency when retrieving specific pieces of information.
