Abstract
A data access method for improving performance of an optical disk drive is applied on a predetermined data access operation. A predetermined application program and the optical disk drive are used to run first, second, and third processes for accomplishing the predetermined data access operation. The predetermined application program runs the first process, and the optical disk drive runs the second process. The data access method includes the predetermined application program running the first process and outputting a control command to command the optical disk drive to start the second process, and the predetermined application program running the third process for controlling the optical disk drive to access an optical disk after the first process and the second process are finished. In addition, the time for the predetermined application program to complete the first process overlaps the time for the optical disk drive to complete the second process.
