Method for reading out data from a storage medium

A method for reading out data from a storage medium which stores the data in such a way that the data are distributed in sectors, each sector being assigned a sector identifier as a function of the particular datum of the data stored in the sector, the method comprising:

• a) assigning a data identifier corresponding to each datum to be read out;
• b) grouping the data identifiers into at least one group;
• and
• c) carrying out a search algorithm in which the sector identifier in each sector is compared by sector and by group to the data identifiers contained in the group, and when one of the data identifiers corresponds to a sector identifier, reading out the respective datum from the sector.

A device for reading out data, comprising:

• a storage medium which stores data to be read out in such a way that the data are distributed in sectors, each sector being assigned a sector identifier as a function of the particular datum of the data stored in the sector;
• an assignment component adapted to assign a data identifier corresponding to each datum of the data to be read out;
• a grouping component adapted to group the data identifiers into at least one group;
• a search algorithm component adapted to compare the sector identifier in a particular sector by sector and by group to the data identifiers contained in the group, and to read out the respective datum from the sector when one of the data identifiers corresponds to a sector identifier.
