SAM stores data as a series of memory cells that can only be accessed sequentially (like a cassette tape). If the data is not in the current location, each memory cell is checked until the needed data is found. SAM works very well for memory buffers, where the data is normally stored in the order in which it will be used (a good example is the texture buffer memory on a video card). RAM data, on the other hand, can be accessed in any order.

Difference between direct and serial access?
Direct access refers to the ability to retrieve data from any point in a storage device directly, without having to sequentially access preceding data. This is common in random access memory (RAM) and solid-state drives (SSDs). Serial access, on the other hand, requires data to be accessed sequentially in the order it was stored, such as in magnetic tape drives. This difference impacts the speed and efficiency of data retrieval in storage systems.
Are hard disks direct or serial access?
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.
