Sequential access is more suitable when processing large amounts of data in a particular order, like reading a large log file sequentially. It's efficient for batch processing. Random access is ideal when quick retrieval of specific data is necessary, like accessing a particular customer's information from a database. For example, in a library system, sequentially listing all books would be a sequential task, while finding a specific book by its ISBN would require random access.
