                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales of hard drive products were $522.9 million in the first quarter of 1996,
an increase of $109.1 million or 26% from the first quarter of 1995.  The
growth in hard drive product revenues was the result of a 29% increase in hard
drive units shipped, offset by a decline in average selling prices ("ASPs").
Hard drive product revenues decreased $22.7 million or four percent from the
immediately preceding quarter primarily due to the decline in ASPs.

Sales of microcomputer products for the current quarter were $35.2 million,
down $15.6 million or 31% from the first quarter of 1995 and $4.3 million or
11% from the immediately preceding quarter.  The decline in microcomputer
product sales is primarily due to lower sales of the Company's multimedia
products.

Gross profit margins were as follows:

</TABLE>

The decrease in hard drive product gross profit margin from the first quarter
of 1995 is due to the decline in ASPs combined with a broader product mix
shipped to retail customers (including lower capacity hard drives which
typically have lower gross margins).  The reduction in gross profit margin from
the immediately preceding quarter was the result of continued competitive
pricing pressures, particularly with the Company's higher capacity product
offerings.

The gross profit margin percentage for microcomputer products declined from the
first quarter of 1995 and the immediately preceding quarter because of the
relationship between fixed costs and the lower revenue base.

Research and development ("R&D") expense for the current quarter increased
$12.0 million or 42% over the same period a year ago and $3.0 million or 8% as
compared to the fourth quarter of 1995.  Higher expenditures to support new
product introductions, including high performance storage product development
activities, was the primary factor contributing to the increases.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased $2.7 million or
9% from the first quarter of 1995 in support of higher revenue levels.  SG&A
expense decreased slightly from the fourth quarter of 1995 as the decline in
pretax income resulted in lower accruals for annual incentive plans.

ITEM 2.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Net interest and other income for the current quarter was $3.6 million, as 
compared to $2.9 million in the first quarter of 1995 and $3.9 million in the 
immediately preceding quarter. The elimination of the Company's outstanding 
debt generated the improvement in interest and other income over the prior 
year.  The decrease from the immediately preceding quarter is primarily the 
result of lower average cash and short-term investment balances.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and short-term investments totaled $241.9 million at September 30, 1995 as
compared to $307.7 million at July 1, 1995.  Net cash used for operating
activities was $26.6 million.  Cash flow from earnings, depreciation and an
increase in current liabilities was more than offset by cash used to fund
increases in accounts receivable and inventories.  Capital additions during the
first quarter totaled $16.6 million and were incurred primarily to support
increased production of hard drives and related components.  Also, $26.0
million was used to repurchase 1.6 million shares of the Company's common stock
in the open market.

The ability of the Company to continue to effectively manage its working
capital and operate profitably is dependent upon a number of factors including
competitive conditions in the marketplace, general economic conditions, the
efficiency of the Company's manufacturing operations and the timely development
and introduction of new products which address market needs.
