Which of the following storage media provides sequential access only?
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Magnetic tape
Magnetic tape storage media provides sequential
access only.
Sequential access devices are usually a form of
magnetic storage or optical storage. While sequential access memory is read in
sequence, arbitrary locations can still be accessed by "seeking" to
the requested location.
In computer science, sequential access means that a
group of elements (such as data in a memory array or a disk file or on magnetic
tape data storage) is accessed in a predetermined, ordered sequence. Sequential
access is sometimes the only way of accessing the data, for example if it is on
a tape.
