Q. The access method used in Magnetic disks is?
Solution:
When direct access is used the head that reads data from the storage medium can move directly to any point on the storage medium. If a particular record or file must be loaded or saved then the head can move directly to the record/file’s position on the storage medium and read the data. Records and files can, therefore, be located very quickly.
Magnetic disks such as hard disks and floppy disks and optical disks such as CD-ROMs use the direct access method. Direct Access is required if transaction processing is taking place.
