Indexed allocation supports direct access because each file has an index block that contains pointers to all the blocks of a file, allowing direct access to any file block. It also does not suffer from external fragmentation because files can be stored in non-contiguous blocks without leaving unused spaces between files, as the index block keeps track of all the file's blocks regardless of their location on the disk.
