On the other hand, dynamic arrays ( as well as fixed-size array data structures ) allow constant-time random access, while linked lists allow only sequential access to elements.
32.
This makes it possible to copy and paste files or directories to a tape as if it were just like another disk, but does not change the fundamental sequential access nature of tape.
33.
Magneto-optical disc storage is " non-volatile ", " sequential access ", slow write, fast read storage used for tertiary and off-line storage.
34.
Magnetic sequential access memory is typically used for secondary storage in general-purpose computers due to their higher density at lower cost compared to RAM, as well as resistance to wear and non-volatility.
35.
In computer science, a "'B-tree "'is a self-balancing tree data structure that keeps data sorted and allows searches, sequential access, insertions, and deletions in logarithmic time.
36.
Read and write operations on a sequential access device begin at the current tape position, not at a specific LBA . The block size on sequential access devices can either be fixed or variable, depending on the specific device.

38.
Further, the data is often taken to be in an array, which allows random access, rather than a list, which only allows sequential access, though often algorithms can be applied with suitable modification to either type of data.
39.
The capacity of a " sequential access " ( i . e . tape-type ) device is not specified because it depends, amongst other things, on the length of the tape, which is not identified in a machine-readable way.
40.
Examples are : buffers " ", that is a " non-associative memory " with sequential access ( strings of data ) against the random accesses through an associative " memory-to-cache " address of a classic cache.
