32. 32[blank_start]Magnetic[blank_end] tape is read/written [blank_start]sequentially[blank_end], meaning it is read/written from the [blank_start]beginning[blank_end] to the [blank_start]end[blank_end], or until it is [blank_start]stopped[blank_end] by the [blank_start]computer[blank_end]. This makes it very [blank_start]slow[blank_end] when finding specific [blank_start]data[blank_end] stored on it, but it has a [blank_start]fast[blank_end] read/write speed once it is in the correct place to begin [blank_start]read/writing[blank_end]
