1. A reading method to a flash memory from a data-access requesting component, wherein the flash memory includes a plurality of storage sectors, and a read operation to one sector of the storage sectors needs a plurality of stages handled by an access controller, the reading method comprising:

  • performing a first read operation to read a current sector of the storage sectors; and

    starting to perform a second read operation to a next sector of the storage sectors when the first read operation is not completed yet;

    wherein the second read operation starts before the first read operation ends thereby decreasing the time required to perform read operations and increasing overall system performance.
