What else can I help you with?
Which storage media provides sequential access only?
magnetic tape
What is a magnetic tape?
A magnetic tape is a secondary storage media used to access data in a sequential way
Types of storage device?
Summary of secondary storage media. Floppy disk, direct access and removeable.Use Slow Sequential Access Hard disk, high capacity and fastest direct access. Use Store Programs and Data CD-ROM High capacity and removable direct access. Use Entertainment Software, Reference Material Magnetic Tape, High capacity and inexpensive.Use Back-up Programs and Data.
Why is it important to know the access time of a storage media?
for auditing and concurrency

Compare and contrast sequential access storage vs direct access storage?
The terms direct access and random access describe the same concept. They mean that an element of data or instructions (such as a byte or word) can be directly stored and retrieved by selecting and using any of the locations on the storage media. They also mean that each storage position (1) has a unique address and (2) can be individually accessed in about the same length of time without having to search through other storage positions. For example, each memory cell on a microelectronic semiconductor RAM chip can be individually sensed or changed in the same length of time. Also, any data record stored on a magnetic or optical disk can be accessed directly in about the same period Sequential access storage media such as magnetic tape do not have unique storage addresses that can be directly addressed. Instead, data must be stored and retrieved using a sequential or serial process. Data are recorded one after another in a predetermined sequence (e.g., numeric order) on a storage medium. Locating an individual item of data requires searching the recorded data on the tape until the desired item is located. (Tha answer was got from Managment Information System book, written by James O'brien and George Marakas)
Are ROM and RAM examples of secondary storage media?
No. ROM and RAM are primary storage. Examples of secondary storage would be floppy disk, hard disk, flash drive, etc. haahahaha
Examples of storage media?
Hard drive, external hard drive, floppy disk, memory stick, CD-ROM and Recordable DVD are all storage devices.
What are two examples of storage?
There are many types of storage media, two of them are USBs, or thumb drives, and external hard drives.
What are the 10 secondary storage devices examples?
Typically random access memory (RAM) is the primary storage device and the slower rotating magnetic media (disc drive) is the secondary storage device. Other devices like USB thumb drives and other removable media are considered tertiary (3rd level) storage devices
What kind of media storage has the quickest data access time?
possibly firewire. its 400mb/sec
What is the difference between storage media and data media?
Oh, dude, storage media is where you keep your stuff, like a hard drive or a USB stick. Data media is what's actually on those things, like the files and pictures you store. So, it's like the difference between the shelf you put your books on and the actual books themselves.
