Serial access

What is the meaning of the term (when applied to memory systems technology)?


A serial access memory is arranged so that data elements are accessed sequentially. That is, several (or even very many) elements must be read before the desired element has been located. Therefore, the access time depends on the physical location of the data. Magnetic memory (disk) and optical memory (CD, DVD, and Blu?ray) are examples of serial access memories.
