Sequential File Organization stores records in a linear order, allowing for easy addition and retrieval of data, but accessing specific records out of sequence can be slow. Direct File Organization, on the other hand, enables direct access to any record using an address or key, making random access faster. This is achieved through indexing or hashing techniques. In summary, sequential is better for processing all records in order, while direct (random) is better for accessing specific records quickly.
