What is Sequential Access?
This is memory access method in computer and in this method, the memory is accessed in a specific linear sequential order. In this method a data is accessed after accessing it's previous data. Like their is a data at index 9 which we want to access so in this method first we have to pass through previous 8 indexes.
In this type of memory the data is stored and read in a fixed order. And one of the most common example of this type of memory is audio or video cassette. Sequential access devices are usually a form of magnetic memory. And the phrase sequential access simply refers to the fixed order of access.
