Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Magnetic disk storage is random access, meaning that data can be retrieved from any location on the disk at any time without having to sequentially search through the entire disk. This distinguishes it from magnetic tape storage, which is typically used for sequential access. While disk storage is not considered direct access in the sense that data must still be located and retrieved from a specific location on the disk, it is considered to be more direct than sequential access methods.
