ITEM 15       INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

      Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a
corporation to grant indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently
broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities
(including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Section 11 of the Registrant's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides for indemnification of its
directors against the Registrant or its Stockholders to the maximum extent
permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law for monetary damages for
breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Article VI of the Company's Bylaws, as
amended, permits the Company to indemnify directors, officers, employees and
agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
In addition, the Registrant has entered into Indemnification Agreements with its
officers and directors.

ITEM 17           UNDERTAKINGS.

      1.      The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

              (a)      To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
       being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                       (i)   to include any prospectus required by Section
                             10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

                       (ii)  to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
                             arising after the effective date of this
                             Registration Statement (or the most recent
                             post-effective amendment hereof) which,
                             individually or in the aggregate, represent a
                             fundamental change in the information set forth in
                             this Registration Statement;

                       (iii) to include any material information with respect to
                             the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
                             in this Registration Statement or any material
                             change to such information in this Registration
                             Statement;

         provided, however, that the undertakings set forth in paragraph (i) and
         (ii) above shall not apply if the information required to be included
         in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in
         periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or
         15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") that
         are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

              (b)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability under 
      the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to
      be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein
      and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
      initial bona fide offering thereof.

             (c)        To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
      amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at
      the termination of the offering.

      2.      The undersigned hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and
the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

      3.      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

       RE:   REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

       We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-3 to be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement"), in
connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
of 10,813,172 shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value of Quantum Corporation
(the "Shares").  The Shares are issuable upon conversion of the Company's 5%
Convertible Subordinated Note due 2003 (the "Notes").  As your counsel, we have
examined the proceedings proposed to be taken in connection with the issuance of
the Shares upon the conversion of the Notes.

       It is our opinion that, upon completion of the proceedings being taken or
contemplated by us, as your counsel, to be taken prior to the issuance of the
Shares upon due and proper conversion of the Notes in accordance with their
terms, and upon completion of the proceedings being taken in order to permit
such transactions to be carried out in accordance with the securities laws of
the various states, where required, the Shares, when issued and sold in the
manner referred to in the Registration Statement, will be legally and validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

       We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement, and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the
Registration Statement, including the Prospectus constituting a part thereof,
and any amendment thereto.


                                      Very truly yours,

                                      /s/ Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati
                                      --------------------------------------
