Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by
you with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about October 28, 1994,
in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, of 2,000,000 additional shares of your Common Stock reserved for
issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan").

         As your legal counsel, we have examined the proceedings taken and are
familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken by you in connection with
the sale and issuance of said shares.  It is our opinion that the additional
shares, when issued and sold in the manner referred to in the Plan and pursuant
to the agreements which accompany the Plan, will be legally and validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable.

         We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to said
Registration Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever
appearing in said Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.

                                   Sincerely,

                        CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Statement (Form S-8) pertaining to the Seagate Technology, Inc.  Employee Stock
Purchase Plan of our reports dated July 12, 1994, except for the Subsequent
