ABSTRACT:
Provides methods, systems and devices for reading a storage medium. A method for reading a storage medium according to the invention includes the following steps: First, it is determined if an access sequence requested by an application to data stored on the disk drive is a part of a known access sequence. Then, if the requested access sequence is part of a known access sequence, the data are read from a data arrangement stored on the medium in addition to an original data arrangement which additional data arrangement differs in its arrangement of data from the arrangement of data in the original data arrangement.
