         Re:      Registration Statement on Form S-8

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         This  opinion is  furnished to you in  connection  with a  Registration
Statement on Form S-8 (the  "Registration  Statement") filed with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission (the "Commission") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the  "Securities  Act"),  for the  registration of 8,500,000  shares of
Common  Stock,  $.03  1/3  par  value  per  share  (the  "Shares"),   of  Iomega
Corporation,  a  Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),   issuable  under  the
Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

         We have examined the Restated  Certificate of Incorporation and Amended
and Restated By-Laws of the Company,  and all amendments thereto, and originals,
or  copies  certified  to our  satisfaction,  of all  pertinent  records  of the
meetings of the  directors and  stockholders  of the Company,  the  Registration
Statement  and such other  documents  relating  to the Company as we have deemed
material for the purposes of this opinion.

         In  examination  of  the  foregoing  documents,  we  have  assumed  the
genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us
as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to
us as copies, the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents and the
legal competence of all signatories to such documents.

         We  express  no  opinion  herein  as  to  the  laws  of  any  state  or
jurisdiction other than the state laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the
Delaware  General  Corporation  Law and the federal laws of the United States of
America.


<PAGE>


         Based upon and subject to the  foregoing,  we are of the  opinion  that
the  Shares have been duly  authorized  for issuance and the Shares, when issued
and  paid for in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly  issued,
fully  paid and nonassessable. It is understood that this opinion is to  be used
only   inconnection  with   the  offer  and   sale of  the  Shares   while   the
Registration Statement is in effect.

         Please note that we are opining  only as to the matters  expressly  set
forth herein, and no opinion should be inferred as to any other matters.

         We hereby  consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as
an exhibit to the Registration  Statement in accordance with the requirements of
Items  601(b)(5) and 601(b)(23) of Regulation  S-K under the Securities  Act. In
giving  such  consent,  we do not hereby  admit that we are in the  category  of
persons whose consent is required  under Section 7 of the  Securities Act or the
rules and regulations of the Commission.

                                                     Very truly yours,

                                                     /s/Hale and Dorr LLP
                                                     ----------------------

                    CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

         As   independent   public   accountants,   we  hereby  consent  to  the
incorporation  by  reference in this  registration  statement on Form S-8 of our
