                                 (unaudited)


1.	Basis of presentation

	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which, in the 
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
the periods shown.  The results of operations for such periods are not 
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.  The
accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 
audited financial statements of Quantum Corporation for the fiscal year ended 
March 31, 1994.

2.	Inventories

	Inventories consisted of the following:
		(In thousands)
                                                     Jan. 1,     Mar. 31,
                                                        1995         1994
                                                     -------     --------

	Work in process                                 72,841       14,729
	Finished goods                                 230,822      151,513
                                                    --------    ---------

                                                    $382,574     $194,083
                                                    ========    =========

3.	Net income (loss) per share

	Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number
of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding.  Net income per 
share computed on a fully diluted basis assumes conversion of the Company's 
outstanding 6 3/8% convertible subordinated debentures having a principal value
of $212,500,000.  For the three months ended January 1, 1995 and the three and 
nine months ended January 2, 1994, the primary net income (loss) per share is 
shown in the statement of income as both primary and fully diluted, as the 
effect of the assumed conversion of the subordinated debentures is anti-
dilutive.

4.	Acquisition of businesses from Digital Equipment Corporation

	On October 3, 1994, Quantum Corporation ("Quantum" or "the Company") 
acquired the Disks, Heads, and Tapes Business of the Storage Business Unit of 
Digital Equipment Corporation ("the acquired Business"), in a transaction which 
is being accounted for as a purchase.  The operating results of the acquired 
Business from the date of the purchase through January 1, 1995 have been 
reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements for the quarter 
and year to date periods.


<PAGE>
	The Company retained independent valuation professionals to assist it in 
the final determination of the value to be assigned to the individual assets 
acquired, including intangibles and purchased research and development.  The 
results of this valuation are included in the consolidated balance sheet for 
the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  However, the final allocation of the 
purchase price is not yet complete as the Company's management is still 
awaiting certain information related to the purchase.  While the consolidated 
financial statement information has been presented based on the best 
information currently available to Company's management, the final allocation 
could change, and the change could affect the consolidated financial 
information.  The types of information that the Company is awaiting include:

*  Determination of the final purchase price - The purchase agreement contained 
several adjustment provisions related to the level and value of inventory and 
property, plant and equipment, and such adjustment provisions are still being 
negotiated.

*  Management's plans regarding utilization and deployment of the acquired 
Business' assets and operations - Management is still evaluating the utility 
and deployment of the assets and operations acquired in this transaction.  The 
magnitude of costs to be incurred or asset impairments related to the acquired 
operations are still being assessed.

	Company management expects that the final purchase price will be known by 
the time the Company's March 31, 1995 Report on Form 10K is filed.  
Finalization of management's plans regarding utility and deployment of assets 
and operations acquired is expected by March 31, 1995.

	The Company has assumed a purchase price of $350.5 million, and direct 
costs of the transaction for investment banker and professional fees and other 
direct incremental transaction costs of $4.7 million.

Recap of purchase price allocation:

								  (in millions)
	Inventories							$146.7
	Property and equipment				 	 104.3
	Intangible assets					 	 106.1
	Accrual for merger related costs		 	 (64.7)
	Other assets/liabilities, net			  	  (4.4)
	Purchased research and development (expense)	  67.2
									-------
									$355.2
									=======

	Intangible assets include completed technology, workforce in place, a 
supply agreement and customer list.  The estimated useful lives range from 3 to 
10 years.  The $67.2 million allocated to purchased research and development 
was expensed immediately as required under generally accepted accounting 
principles.

	The unaudited pro forma combined condensed results of operations of the 
Company for the three months and nine months ended January 1, 1995 and January 
2, 1994 had the acquisition occurred on April 1, 1993, on the basis described 
above, would have been as follows:

Note:  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.


	The unaudited pro forma results for the nine months ended January 2, 1994 
reflect a charge for purchased research and development and other in merger 
costs of $73 million.  The pro forma results for the three months and nine 
months ended January 1, 1995 and January 2, 1994 also reflect intangible asset 
amortization, depreciation on net book value of acquired assets, amortization 
of loan fees and interest expense on the new debt related to the acquisition.

	The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative 
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that 
would have occurred had the transaction been completed at the beginning of the 
period indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results.

5.	Debt

	On October 3, 1994, the Company purchased the acquired Businesses from 
Digital.  The purchase was financed with cash, bank debt and a note to Digital 
for $70 million.

	The bank debt consists of a three year $350 million senior credit 
facility structured as a $225 million revolving credit line and a $125 million 
term loan. The revolving credit will be governed by a borrowing base of 
eligible accounts receivable and inventory, and the term loan amortizes in five 
equal semi-annual installments commencing twelve months from closing.  The 
borrowings, at the option of the Company, could have interest rates of either 
LIBOR plus a margin or a base rate.

	The facility is secured by all the Company's domestic assets and 66% of 
the Company's ownership of certain of it's foreign subsidiaries.

	The note to Digital was subsequently paid during the quarter with funds  
from the revolving credit line.

Item 2.	Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations 


Results of Operations

	On October 3, 1994, the Company acquired the Disks, Heads and Tapes 
Business of the Storage Business Unit of Digital Equipment Corporation 
("Digital" or "the acquired Businesses").  The transaction includes Digital's 
interest in Digital Equipment Storage Products (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., it's 81% 
ownership in Rocky Mountain Magnetics, Inc., and substantially all of the 
assets related to the data storage business conducted by Digital directly. The 
operating results of the acquired Businesses from the date of purchase through 
January 1, 1995 have been reflected in the Company's consolidated financial 
statements for the quarter.  Refer to note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements for details of the acquisition.

	Consolidated sales for the three and nine months ended January 1, 1995 
were $933 million and $2,384 million, respectively, compared to $523 million 
and $1,496 million for the corresponding periods in fiscal 1994.  The increase 
in consolidated sales on a year-to-year basis was attributable to the newly 
acquired products as well as increased unit shipments of existing Quantum 
products.  

	Sales to major customers, as a percentage of consolidated sales, for the 
three and nine months ended January 1, 1995 and January 2, 1994 were as 
follows:


                                  Three Months Ended         Nine Months Ended
                                --------------------    ----------------------
                                 Jan. 1,     Jan. 2,      Jan. 1,      Jan. 2,
                                    1995        1994         1995         1994
                                --------   ---------    ---------   ----------

Digital Equipment Corporation		14%		*		  *		   *
Compaq Computer, Inc.			14%		*		 17%		  10%
Apple Computer, Inc.			11%	     17%		 13%		  24%

* sales represented less than 10% of consolidated sales for the period

	In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company and Digital signed a 
multi year supply agreement providing the Company a substantial percentage of 
Digital's internal hard disk drive requirements for its Storageworks subsystems 
and core computer systems businesses.  The Company has no other long term 
supply commitments with these customers.  Any significant decrease in sales to 
these customers, or the loss of one or all of these customers, could have a 
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations.

	The gross margin for the quarter ended January 1, 1995 increased to 14.5% 
from 10.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 1994.  The Company's gross margin 
for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 was 17.4%, compared to 8.4% for the 
corresponding period in fiscal 1994.  The improvement in gross margin from the 
previous fiscal year was a result of a better cost structure for given drive 
capacities during the first nine months of fiscal 1995, compared to the same 
period in fiscal 1994.  During the same period a year ago, the Company 
experienced intense pricing pressures in both the distribution and OEM channels 
which resulted from an industry wide oversupply of disk drives.

	For at least the next quarter, the Company anticipates that gross margin 
will continue to be impacted as certain issues associated with the acquisition 
of the acquired Businesses are addressed.  While significant progress was made 
in the third quarter, the Company will continue to focus on phasing out the 
older, lower gross margin product lines acquired from Digital, and integrating 
the thin film heads across the Company's existing product lines to reduce 
excess head manufacturing capacity.  Also, gross margin will be impacted as the 
Company's desktop and portable group begins mass production of new follow-on 
products.  These new products will provide significant cost benefits over 
current products; however, margins will remain under pressure until the Company 
can begin transitioning customers to these new products. 

	Over the past ten years, Quantum has established a strong business 
relationship with Matsushita-Kotobuki Electronics Industries, Ltd. (MKE) of 
Japan.  This relationship has been built on Quantum's engineering and design 
expertise and MKE's high-volume, high-quality manufacturing expertise.  The 
Company's master agreement with MKE, which covers the general terms of the 
business relationship, was renegotiated during fiscal 1993 and was extended for 
a period of five years.  Sales derived from products manufactured by MKE 
accounted for 82% of Quantum's sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1995, 
compared to 72% of sales during the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  The decline 
in MKE products as a percentage of sales is a result of the increase in 
consolidated sales due to the newly acquired products and Quantum's 
manufacturing of those products.  In the event MKE is unable to supply such 
products or increases its prices for manufacturing services, the Company's 
results of operations would be adversely affected.  The Company's transactions 
with MKE are denominated in U.S. dollars with prices for product purchases 
negotiated periodically.  Thus, fluctuations in the exchange rate have no 
material short term impact on Quantum's results of operations.  However, such 
fluctuations may impact future negotiated prices.  

	In conjunction with the acquisition of the thin film heads business, the 
Company is continuing Digital's relationship with Lafe Computer Magnetics Ltd. 
("Lafe") of China and is in the process of negotiating a manufacturing 
agreement.  In the event Lafe is unable to supply manufacturing services the 
Company could experience an interruption in business.  The Company's 
transactions with Lafe are denominated in U.S. dollars, thus fluctuations in 
the exchange rate have no material short term impact on Quantum's results of 
operations.  However, such fluctuations may impact future negotiated prices.

	Quantum operates in an extremely competitive industry and its rapid 
growth has been the result of the Company's ability to identify customer needs 
and develop quality products to meet those requirements.  The Company expects 
that sales from new products, including those products acquired from Digital, 
will account for a significant portion of sales for the last quarter of fiscal 
1995 and the first quarter of fiscal 1996, replacing sales of some current 
products.  The Company's continued ability to produce new products economically 
and manage the transition of customers to these new products is essential for 
continued success.  The hard disk drive industry is characterized by shorter 
product life cycles and is dependent on the strength of unit demand in the 
personal computer market.  These and other factors may affect the Company's 
results of operations, and past financial performance should not be considered 
a reliable indicator of future performance.  Investors should not use 
historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.



Operating Expenses

	Research and development expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 
were $54 million or 6% of sales, compared to $20 million or 4% of sales in the 
corresponding period in fiscal 1994.  Research and development expenses in the 
nine months ended January 1, 1995 were $111 million or 5% of sales, compared to 
$61 million or 4% of sales in the corresponding period in fiscal 1994.  The 
increases during the three months and nine months ended January 1, 1995 are due 
primarily to the acquired Businesses and reflect spending for both the 
vertically integrated heads business and the additional high capacity products, 
which tend to be more research and development intensive.  With the acquisition 
of the acquired Businesses the Company expects a continued higher level of 
expenditures for research and development and that research and development 
expenses will represent a higher percentage of sales on an ongoing basis.  The 
hard disk drive industry is subject to rapid technological advances and the 
future success of the Company is dependent upon continued successful and timely 
introductions of new products and technologies.

	Sales and marketing expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 were $28 
million, compared to $17 million in the corresponding period in fiscal 1994, or 
3% of sales for each respective quarter.  Sales and marketing expenses in the 
nine months ended January 1, 1995 were $74 million or 3% of sales, compared to 
$54 million or 4% of sales in the corresponding period of fiscal 1994.  The 
increases in absolute dollars are related to the Digital acquisition and the 
costs associated with supporting the higher sales volume and the expanded 
Company infrastructure.  The Company anticipates a continued higher level of 
absolute dollar spending in sales and marketing related to the Digital 
acquisition, with expenditures as a percentage of sales remaining relatively 
consistent.  

	General and administrative expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 
were $14 million compared to $10 million for the corresponding period in fiscal 
1994.  General and administrative expenses in the nine months ended January 1, 
1995 were $36 million, compared to $32 million in the corresponding period in 
fiscal 1994.  In each of these periods general and administrative expenses were 
2% of sales for the respective period.  Due to the acquisition of the acquired 
Businesses, the Company expects a continued higher level of absolute dollar 
spending in general and administrative, with expenditures as a percentage of 
sales remaining relatively consistent.

	As a result of the acquisition of the acquired Businesses, the Company 
incurred a one time charge of $73 million, which included $67 million of 
purchased research and development and $6 million in related merger costs.  
Merger costs are comprised of incremental integration costs incurred through 
January 1, 1995.

	Net interest and other income/expense in the third quarter of fiscal 1995 
were $6.0 million net expense, compared to $1.8 million net expense in the 
corresponding period in fiscal 1994.  Net interest and other income/expense for 
the nine months ended January 1, 1995 were $7.5 million net expense, compared 
to $4.8 million net expense in the corresponding period in fiscal 1994.   The 
increase in net expense in fiscal 1995 can be attributed to higher interest 
expense resulting from the acquisition financing and lower cash balances due to 
cash paid for the acquisition. 

	The Company anticipates that the acquisition of the acquired Businesses 
will have a future effect on both operating and net income resulting from the 
amortization of intangibles, depreciation on net book value of acquired assets, 
and interest expense on the debt.  As detailed in Note 4 of the Notes to 
Consolidated Financial Statements, the final allocation of the purchase price 
is not yet complete and the allocation could change, as the Company's 
management is still awaiting certain information related to the purchase.  
Based on the best information currently available the Company estimates that 
charges for the amortization of intangibles and depreciation on net book value 
of acquired assets could range from $53 to $56 million during the next three 
fiscal years.  Interest expense on the debt will be dependent on the loan 
balance and the interest rate (refer to Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated 
Financial Statements).

Income Taxes
  
      For the quarter and nine months ended January 1, 1995 the effective tax 
rate was 30%, excluding purchased research and development charges. This 30% 
effective tax rate reflects the benefits of subsidiary earnings taxed at rates 
lower than the US rate.  For fiscal 1995, including the purchased research and 
development charges generates a higher tax rate as there is no tax benefit 
associated with technology which the Company anticipates will be utilized 
offshore.  For the three months ended January 2, 1994 the tax provision was 27% 
and for the nine months ended January 2, 1994 the benefit provision was 27%.  
The tax benefit for the nine months ended January 2, 1994 resulted from an 
overall US net operating loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

	At January 1, 1995, the Company had $255 million in cash and cash 
equivalents and short-term investments, compared to $330 million at March 31, 
1994.  The decrease is due primarily to cash used for the Digital acquisition.

	On October 3, 1994, the Company purchased the acquired Businesses from 
Digital.  The purchase was financed with cash, bank debt and a note to Digital 
for $70 million.

	The bank debt consists of a three year $350 million senior credit 
facility structured as a $225 million revolving credit line and a $125 million 
term loan. The revolving credit will be governed by a borrowing base of 
eligible accounts receivable and inventory, and the term loan amortizes in five 
equal semi-annual installments commencing twelve months from closing.

	The note to Digital was subsequently paid during the quarter with funds  
from the revolving credit line.   

	The Company expects to spend approximately $20 to $30 million for 
leasehold improvements, capital equipment and the expansion of the Company's 
facilities for the remainder of fiscal year 1995.  Over the next twelve months, 
the Company anticipates a significant amount of additional capital expenditures 
will be required to ramp the Asia manufacturing facilities and to support the 
recording heads business of the acquired Businesses.  The Company believes that 
the credit facilities, as well as cash generated from its operations, will be 
sufficient to meet these capital requirements as well as working capital 
requirements during the next twelve months.
