                         MAXTOR CORPORATION
             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                            (Unaudited)

1.   Consolidated financial statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do
not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements.  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Maxtor Corporation (Maxtor or the Company), its wholly-
owned subsidiaries, and Maxoptix Corporation (Maxoptix), a
corporation jointly-owned by Maxtor (62%) and Kubota Corporation of
Japan (33%).  In connection with the sale of the assets of Storage
Dimensions, Inc. (SDI), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, Maxtor acquired a 32.8% interest in the company formed for
the purpose of purchasing the net assets of SDI.  Maxtor accounts for
its investment under the equity method.  All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  All adjustments
of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of management, are
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
have been made.  It is recommended that the interim financial
statements be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended
March 26, 1994.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
the operating results expected for later quarters or the full fiscal
year.

2.   Short-term borrowings

In September 1993, the Company obtained a secured, asset-based
revolving line of credit of $76.0 million.  This line of credit
provides for borrowings up to $76.0 million based on eligible
receivables at various interest rates over a two-year term and is
secured by receivables, certain inventories and other assets.  The
line of credit expires in September 1995.  As of June 25, 1994, $30.0
million of borrowings and $2.9 million of letters of credit were
outstanding.  The $30.0 million of borrowings was fully repaid during
the first fiscal week of July 1994.  The availability of this line of
credit in the future depends on the Company meeting covenants,
including certain financial ratios.  On June 17, 1994, the Company
received an amendment to its line of credit with respect to a certain
financial ratio which is measured at the end of each quarter.  With
such amendment, the Company was in compliance with all financial
ratios during the most recent quarter ended June 25, 1994.  As noted
in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations", the Company does not expect to be profitable
during the second quarter of fiscal year 1995.  Depending on the
magnitude of the quarterly loss, the Company may need to renegotiate
its line of credit agreement to be in compliance with all financial
ratios for the quarter ended September 24, 1994.

3.   Special & Restructuring

During the third quarter of fiscal year 1994, the Company decided to
discontinue certain products and manufacturing activities, and
recorded special charges amounting to $68.9 million in cost of
revenue.  As of June 25, 1994, current liabilities included accruals
related to these special charges totaling approximately $13.3
million.  The Company anticipates that the net expenditure of
approximately $4.4 million of cash will be required during the six-
month period ending December 24, 1994 to fund the remaining expenses
accrued.  Such expenditures are expected to be funded by cash flows
from operations and investments.

The decisions described above reduced the scope of the Company's
product and manufacturing activities and, as a result, the Company
then initiated a restructuring plan which provides for the
consolidation and streamlining of certain operations and
administration.  The Company recorded a restructuring charge of $19.5
million in the third quarter of fiscal year 1994 related to these
activities which are expected to be completed within the twelve-month
period from the date of the charge.  As of June 25, 1994,
approximately $5.3 million of the $19.5 million charge remained in
current liabilities and is primarily associated with facility
consolidations, including lease and other obligations on certain
facility leases.  The Company anticipates that the completion of
restructuring actions will require the expenditure of approximately
$5.3 million of cash during the remaining six-month period and is
expected to be funded by cash flows from operations and investments.

4.   Net loss per share

Net loss per share is based upon the weighted average number of
shares of all classes of common stock outstanding during the quarters
ended June 25, 1994 and June 26, 1993.

5.   Contingencies

As part of the acquisition of the MiniScribe business in June 1990,
the Company was assigned a patent license agreement between
MiniScribe and Rodime plc (Rodime) covering patents related to 3.5-
inch disk drives.  The Company believes that the assignment was
valid; however, Rodime has taken the position that the assignment was
invalid and would not in any event cover 3.5-inch drives manufactured
and sold by the Company before the acquisition of MiniScribe's
assets.  In February 1993, Maxtor commenced an action for declaratory
relief in the U. S. Bankruptcy Court in Denver, Colorado seeking a
judgment that the assignment was valid.  Rodime filed a denial and
counterclaim for patent infringement.  In April 1994, the relevant
claims of the Rodime patent at issue in Rodime's counterclaims were
declared invalid in litigation between Rodime and another disk drive
manufacturer.  The Company's litigation with Rodime has been stayed
pending Rodime's appeal of the finding of invalidity.  Certain other
claims, including other patent infringement claims, against the
Company have arisen in the course of its business.  There is
presently no litigation involving such claims, and the Company
believes the outcome of these claims and the claim concerning Rodime
described above will not have a material adverse effect, if any, on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.




Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.

              (Tabular information: Dollars in millions, except per
               share amounts)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
Since its inception in 1982, Maxtor Corporation (Maxtor or the
Company) has been subject to the highly cyclical nature of the disk
drive industry.  In fiscal year 1993, as a result of an industry-wide
increase in demand and the related stabilization in prices, the
Company grew its revenue to over $1.4 billion.  However, during the
last four months of fiscal year 1993 and continuing into the third
quarter of fiscal year 1994, the disk drive industry was experiencing
intense price competition and excess industry capacity, which
resulted in lower revenue for the Company.  In the fourth quarter of
fiscal year 1994, revenue declined in connection with the Company's
decision in the third quarter of fiscal year 1994 to discontinue
certain unprofitable products.  In fiscal year 1994, the Company
reported revenue of approximately $1.2 billion.  The Company
experienced a further decline in quarterly revenue in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1995 primarily as a result of the Company's
inability to obtain required volumes of a key component for its 7000
Series product line.  These components were supplied by a sole source
vendor who was experiencing production problems.  The component
shortage was resolved prior to the end of the quarter, however, and
it is not expected to adversely affect revenue and unit sales for the
remainder of fiscal year 1995.

The Company incurred quarterly losses in each of the six consecutive
quarters beginning with the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1993 and
continuing through the first quarter of fiscal year 1995.  Such
losses through the second quarter of fiscal year 1994 and continuing
into the third quarter of fiscal year 1994 were primarily the result
of negative industry conditions and the Company's inability to bring
certain products to market in a timely and cost effective manner.
The negative industry conditions were primarily the result of intense
price competition and excess industry capacity.  In addition, the
Company's losses were the result of insufficient differentiation
between the products of the Company and its competitors, and efforts
by better financed competitors to increase market share.  The Company
began to experience an increase in demand in the third quarter of
fiscal year 1994, with most products in short supply, concurrent
easing of price reductions and price increases on certain products.
Although general industry conditions improved during the latter half
of fiscal year 1994 and continued into the first quarter of fiscal
year 1995, the Company continued to incur losses as a result of
continuing cost and time-to-market issues with regard to its new
products.  The high start-up costs associated with developing and
commencing volume production on the new 1.8-inch form factor products
also contributed to the quarterly losses during that period.
Although general industry conditions improved and most of the
Company's competitors were profitable during that period of time, the
Company has not been profitable, and does not expect to be profitable
until the Company is successful in bringing new products to market in
a timely and cost effective manner.  In addition, the level of price
competition increased again in the last month of the first quarter of
fiscal year 1995 and this increased price competition is expected to
continue at least through the second quarter of fiscal year 1995.
For these reasons, the Company does not expect to be profitable
during the second quarter of fiscal year 1995.

The disk drive industry is subject to rapid technological change and
short product life cycles as data storage manufacturers continually
strive for smaller form factors, larger storage capacities, higher
performance and lower cost.  As a result, Maxtor expects that the
Company's new products will replace the products which accounted for
a majority of the Company's revenues in fiscal year 1994.  Shorter
product life cycles also increase the importance of the Company's
ability to successfully manage product transitions.  The failure to
adequately manage product transitions could result in the loss of
market opportunities, decreased sales of existing products,
cancellation of products or product lines, the accumulation of
obsolete and excess inventory and unanticipated charges related to
obsolete capital equipment.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1994, the Company announced
a major shift in strategy, devoting Company resources primarily to
the design, manufacture and sale of its 7000 Series of inch-high, 3.5-
inch disk drives and its new family of mobile computing products,
including the MobileMax Family of PCMCIA-based mobile computing data
storage products.  The Company believes this shift in strategy will
result in improved financial results, however, the Company's
financial results will be heavily dependent on the success of these
products. The Company's ability to anticipate market trends and to
successfully develop, manufacture in volume and sell new products in
a timely manner and at favorable gross margins will be important
factors affecting the Company's future results and there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in such efforts.  The
Company has been less successful than its competitors in managing
product transitions, and successful new products introduced by
competitors have tended to displace older products, including the
Company's products.  As noted earlier, the Company does not expect to
be profitable until the Company is successful in bringing new
products to market in a timely and cost effective manner.

The disk drive industry is intensely competitive and significant
price erosion is typical during the life of a product.  Industry
participants include both independent suppliers and large computer
manufacturers that both supply their own internal requirements and
sell disk drives to third parties.  Sales by such large computer
manufacturers to third parties are an increasingly important factor
in the market.  Bringing new products to market on a timely basis has
become increasingly critical to competing in this market environment.
When a new product is not brought to market on a timely basis, the
selling price of older products must be reduced in order to compete
effectively with competitors' new products, which are being produced
at lower costs.  If competitors introduce products which offer
greater capacity, better performance, lower prices or any combination
of these factors, or if certain customers produce more disk drives
for internal use, the Company's results of operations would be
adversely affected.

As a result of volatile business conditions in the personal computer
(PC) industry, including the trend toward consolidation among PC
manufacturers, sales to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have
become increasingly important to the success of the disk drive
industry participants.  Although the Company intends to continue in
its efforts to increase its share of this large OEM market,
particularly in the marketing of its new products, there can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in such efforts.
Furthermore, fluctuations in demand for computer systems, or other
end-user demand, can result, and have in the past resulted, in
deferral or cancellation of orders for the Company's products.

The Company's manufacturing process requires large volumes of high
quality components supplied by outside suppliers.  The Company
periodically receives communication from vendors that they may be
unable to supply required volumes of certain key components.  During
the first two months of fiscal year 1995, the Company was unable to
obtain required volumes of a key component for its 7000 Series
product line supplied by a sole source vendor.  As previously
mentioned, this shortage adversely affected the Company's operating
results for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995, however it is not
expected to adversely affect the operating results for the remainder
of fiscal year 1995.

While the Company has qualified and continues to qualify multiple
sources for many components, it is reliant on, and will continue to
be reliant on, single sources for many semi-custom and custom
integrated circuits and other key components.  The Company does not
have long-term supply contracts with most of its single source
vendors, some of which are companies with limited financial and
operational resources.  The Company intends to continue to pursue
qualification of alternative sources for single source components
where practicable; the Company believes, however, that it will have
to continue to utilize leading edge components which may only be
available from a single source.  With the expansion of production
experienced by the disk drive industry during the last quarter of
fiscal year 1994 and continuing into the second quarter of fiscal
year 1995, shortages of certain key components for the disk drive
industry have increased and the Company expects it is likely that
industry shortages of key components may continue into future
quarters.  The Company will continue to aggressively work with its
vendor base to minimize its exposure.  There can be no assurance,
however, that the Company will be successful in such efforts or that
in the future the Company's vendors will meet the Company's required
volumes of high-quality components in a timely and cost effective
manner.

- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenue
Revenue for the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 1995 decreased
by 16.2% from the same quarter of the prior fiscal year, in
connection with the Company's decision in the third quarter of fiscal
year 1994 to discontinue certain unprofitable products.  However,
unit sales of the Company's 7000 Series disk drives, which accounted
for a significant portion of the Company's revenue during both
quarters, increased modestly for the first quarter of fiscal year
1995 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 1994.  Despite
this increase in unit sales, both revenue and unit sales for the 7000
Series products were lower than expected as a result of the
significant shortage in required volumes of a key component for this
product line supplied by a sole source vendor who was experiencing
production problems.  This component shortage was resolved prior to
the end of the quarter, however, and it is not expected to adversely
affect revenue and unit sales for the remainder of the fiscal year.
In addition to the component shortage, the 7000 Series product
offerings, particularly 100-200 megabyte products, were subject to
intense price competition, excess industry capacity and price erosion
during most of the first nine months of fiscal year 1994.  These
factors continue to negatively impact per unit revenue in fiscal year
1995.  While there was a significant shift in product mix from the
older, lower capacity products to the higher capacity 7000 Series
product offerings, average unit selling prices, in terms of megabyte
per dollar, have declined substantially between the first quarters of
fiscal year 1994 and fiscal year 1995.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 1995, the Company had one
customer which accounted for approximately 14% of the Company's
revenue.  This percentage may fluctuate in future periods and there
can be no assurance that it will not decline significantly.  During
the first quarter of fiscal year 1994 one customer accounted for
approximately 24% of the Company's revenue.

As a result of the Company's shift in strategy, as discussed above,
the Company will be heavily dependent on the success of certain
products.  During fiscal year 1994, the Company announced several new
products, including additions to the MobileMax family of PCMCIA-
compatible storage products for mobile computing applications.  These
new products did not contribute significantly to revenue in the first
quarter of fiscal year 1995, and the Company anticipates that these
products will not contribute significantly to revenue in fiscal year
1995. The Company's ability to increase revenues is dependent on its
ability to anticipate market trends and to successfully develop,
manufacture in volume and sell new products in a timely manner.
There can be no assurance that the Company  will be successful in
such efforts.

Gross Margin
Gross margin as a percentage of revenue increased significantly to
11.0% for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 from (6.9%) for the
first quarter of fiscal year 1994.

The negative gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal year 1994
was primarily attributable to the prevailing negative business
conditions in the disk drive industry, including intense price
competition and excess industry capacity, as well as to cost and time-
to-market issues with regard to certain of the Company's products.
From (6.9%) for the first quarter of fiscal year 1994, gross margin
gradually improved to (3.3%) for the second quarter, 4.8% for the
third quarter, excluding special charges of $68.9 million, 11.4% for
the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1994 and 11.0% for the first
quarter of fiscal year 1995.  This improvement was the result of
increased unit sales volumes of certain products for which average
unit selling prices were relatively constant while average unit
manufacturing costs declined from quarter to quarter.  In addition,
gross margin improved in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1994 and
the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 in connection with the
Company's decision in the third quarter of fiscal year 1994 to
discontinue certain unprofitable products.  Also, during the first
quarter of fiscal year 1994, the Company failed to produce planned
unit volumes of its MXT product line due to a quality problem
involving a particular supplier's component, plus higher than planned
costs due to related design and manufacturing issues.  A temporary
shutdown of production of the MXT product occurred during that first
quarter and resulted in an estimated loss of $25.0 million of revenue
and an accompanying negative gross margin for this product offering
during that quarter.  Design and component issues related to the 2.5-
inch product line also resulted in a negative gross margin for that
product line during the first quarter of fiscal year 1994.

As noted earlier, the level of price competition increased again in
the last month of the first quarter of fiscal year 1995 and this
increased price competition is expected to continue at least through
the second quarter of fiscal year 1995.  The Company will continue
its efforts to reduce its average unit manufacturing costs and to
introduce and produce in volume new higher margin products in an
effort to improve gross margin during fiscal year 1995.  However,
there can be no assurance that average unit selling prices will not
decline at a more rapid rate or that the Company will be successful
in its efforts to improve gross margin.   In addition, given the
cyclical nature of the disk drive industry and the Company's
dependence on the success of certain products, as discussed earlier,
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain
or improve its current gross margin.

- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------


Research and development (R&D) expenses for the first quarter of
fiscal year 1995 decreased from the same quarter of the prior fiscal
year primarily due to the consolidation of the Company's R&D
activities in Longmont, Colorado during the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 1994 in connection with the Company's restructuring plan.  This
consolidation eliminated the need for certain facilities in San Jose,
California, and also resulted in a substantial reduction in headcount
associated with R&D and related activities previously conducted in
San Jose. R&D spending in absolute dollars is expected to increase
during the remaining quarters of fiscal year 1995 because the Company
believes that it must continue to make substantial investments in R&D
since the timely introduction and transition to volume production of
new products is essential to its future success.  In addition, R&D
expenses may fluctuate in the future resulting from the cost of
acquiring rights to new technologies.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased as a
percentage of revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year 1995
compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year primarily due
to the decline in the revenue base.

increased as a result of higher cash and short-term investment

Cash and cash equivalents                      $     93.9

Short-term investments                         $     92.6

Net cash used in operating activities          $     27.1

Net cash used in investing activities          $     22.4

Net cash used in financing activities          $      1.1
- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------

As of June 25, 1994, the Company's cash and cash equivalents of $93.9
million as compared to $144.5 million as of March 26, 1994 decreased
by $50.6 million.  Partially offsetting this decrease, the Company
had short-term investments of $92.6 million as of June 25, 1994 as
compared to $74.9 million as of March 26, 1994, an increase of $17.7
million.  The net decrease in the Company's cash and cash
equivalents, and short-term investments of $32.9 million was
primarily the result of operating activities including a reduction in
accounts payable and accrued special and restructuring charges.

Of the net cash used in operating activities during the first quarter
of fiscal year 1995, net loss less non-cash depreciation and
amortization accounted for approximately $1.5 million.  In addition,
the decrease in accounts receivable, increase in inventory and
decreases in current liabilities accounted for approximately $25.3
million in total.  The decline in accounts receivable primarily
reflects lower sales levels in the quarter ended June 25, 1994 than
in the quarter ended March 26, 1994.  Inventories increased slightly
and reflect the Company's ongoing efforts to balance production with
demand and control inventory purchases.  Despite the Company's
efforts to tightly control inventory levels, inventories may increase
in the future based on changes in market demand or industry-wide
production.  Current liabilities decreased by approximately $36
million primarily as a result of a decrease in accounts payable
related to managing the timing of inventory purchases and payments,
and the reduction of accrued special and restructuring charges
recorded by the Company in the third quarter of fiscal year 1994.

Net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to
$17.7 million of short-term investment purchases, net of maturities,
and $5.5 million of capital expenditures.  A significant portion of
the capital expenditure activity was related to the acquisition of
manufacturing equipment.  Depending on business conditions, the
Company currently expects to make capital expenditures of
approximately $35 to $40 million during fiscal year 1995, as compared
to approximately $30 million during fiscal year 1994.

Net cash used in financing activities primarily reflects cash used to
reduce outstanding debt.

In September 1993, the Company obtained a secured, asset-based
revolving line of credit of $76.0 million.  This asset-based
revolving line of credit provides for borrowings up to $76.0 million
based on eligible receivables at various interest rates over a two-
year term and is secured by receivables, certain inventories and
other assets.  The line of credit expires in September 1995.  As of
June 25, 1994, $30.0 million of borrowings and $2.9 million of
letters of credit were outstanding.  The $30.0 million of borrowings
was fully repaid during the first fiscal week of July 1994.  The
availability of this line of credit in the future depends on the
Company meeting covenants including certain financial ratios.  On
June 17, 1994, the Company received an amendment to its line of
credit with respect to a certain financial ratio measured at the end
of each quarter.  With such amendment, the Company was in compliance
with all financial ratios during the most recent quarter ended June
25, 1994.   As noted earlier, the Company does not expect to be
profitable during the second quarter of fiscal year 1995.  Depending
on the magnitude of the actual loss, the Company may need to
renegotiate its line of credit agreement to be in compliance with its
financial ratios for the quarter ended September 24, 1994.

The Company believes that its balances of cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term investments, together with expected cash flow from
operations, equipment financing and line of credit borrowing
capabilities will be sufficient to fund the Company's working capital
and capital expenditure requirements through fiscal year 1995.


DIVIDEND POLICY

The Company has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock.  It
is the present policy of the Board of Directors to retain earnings
for use in the business.  The Company does not anticipate paying cash
dividends in the near future.  Under the terms of the Company's line
of credit and term loan facilities, the Company may not declare or
pay any dividends without the prior consent of its lenders.

                           ---------------------------

Item 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


As part of the acquisition of the MiniScribe business in June 1990,
the Company was assigned a patent license agreement between
MiniScribe and Rodime plc (Rodime) covering patents related to 3.5-
inch disk drives.  The Company believes that the assignment was
valid; however, Rodime has taken the position that the assignment was
invalid and would not in any event cover 3.5-inch drives manufactured
and sold by the Company before the acquisition of MiniScribe's
assets.  In February 1993, Maxtor commenced an action for declaratory
relief in U. S. Bankruptcy Court in Denver, Colorado seeking a
judgment that the assignment was valid.  Rodime filed a denial and
counterclaim for patent infringement.  In April 1994, the relevant
claims of the Rodime patent at issue in Rodime's counterclaims were
declared invalid in litigation between Rodime and another disk drive
manufacturer.  The Company's litigation with Rodime has been stayed
pending Rodime's appeal of the finding of invalidity.  Certain other
claims, including other patent infringement claims, against the
Company have arisen in the course of its business.  There is
presently no litigation involving such claims, and the Company
believes the outcome of these claims and the claim concerning Rodime
described above will not have a material adverse effect, if any, on
the Company's financial position or results of operations.

                 CONFIDENTIAL RESIGNATION AGREEMENT
                   AND GENERAL RELEASE OF CLAIMS


   1.   Laurence R. Hootnick ("Hootnick") was employed by Maxtor
Corporation (the "Company") pursuant to a written employment
agreement of on or about May 5, 1991.  It is now the desire and
intention of Hootnick and the Company to terminate their
employment relationship on an amicable basis, to provide Hootnick
with certain compensation and benefits that he would not
otherwise be entitled to receive upon the termination of his
employment with Maxtor, and to settle and resolve all claims and
disputes which Hootnick has or may have against the Company.  In
recognition of those desires and intentions, Hootnick and the
Company agree as set forth below.

   2.   Hootnick hereby resigns from his employment with the
Company effective September 30, 1995 (the "Resignation Date").

   3.   Hootnick agrees that his service as President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company and his service as a director of
the Company shall cease effective as of the conclusion of the
Company's annual shareholders' meeting on August 18, 1994.
Hootnick further agrees that his service as an officer or
director of any subsidiary of the Company shall also cease
effective as of the conclusion of the Company's annual
shareholders' meeting on August 18, 1994.

   4.   The Company agrees to provide Hootnick with the following
compensation and benefits:

      (a)   Hootnick shall not be required to perform any work or
services for the Company during the period between the effective
date of this Agreement (the eighth day after Hootnick signs this
Agreement if not revoked by him before then) and the Resignation
Date (the "Employment Period") except as may be reasonably
requested by the Company; such work or services shall not require
more than 20 hours per month of Hootnick's time after August 18,
1994 and may include, but not be limited to, work in connection
with appropriate special projects or in connection with the
transition of Hootnick's positions;

      (b)   during the Employment Period, the Company shall
continue to pay Hootnick his base salary as follows:

         (i)    Hootnick shall receive salary payments at his
current salary rate ($43,333.33 per month) through December 31,
1994; and

         (ii)   Hootnick shall receive salary payments equal to
4/9ths of his current salary rate ($19,259.26 per month) from
January 1, 1995 through the Resignation Date; all salary payments
will be made in accordance with the Company's normal payroll
procedures and less applicable withholding, and will be paid to
Hootnick's estate in the event of his death before the end of the
Employment Period;

      (c)   during the Employment Period the Company shall
continue to provide Hootnick with the same standard employee
benefits approved by the Company's Board of Directors that he is
receiving as of the date of this Agreement, including, but not
limited to, group medical insurance, and such benefits may only
be changed or terminated during the Employment Period to the
extent that they are similarly changed or terminated for other
executive employees of the Company at the same time; provided,
that Hootnick shall not accrue any vacation during the Employment
Period, and any unused vacation accrued by Hootnick prior to the
Employment Period shall be paid to him upon the Resignation Date;

      (d)   on June 14, 1994, the Company will issue a mutually-
acceptable press release announcing Hootnick's resignations as
described in paragraph 2, and stating that Hootnick will remain
affiliated with the Company until the Resignation Date;

      (e)    at the same time (or shortly after) the press
release described in subsection (d) is issued, the Company and
Hootnick will issue a mutually-acceptable memorandum to the
Company's employees announcing Hootnick's resignation; and

      (f)   the Company and Hootnick will develop a mutually-
acceptable plan for the transition of Hootnick's duties and
responsibilities.

With respect to any stock options granted to Hootnick by the
Company, those options will continue to be governed by and
subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable Company
stock option plans and stock option agreements between Hootnick
and the Company.  Following the Employment Period, Hootnick shall
be entitled to elect continued insurance coverage in accordance
with federal law (COBRA).  Hootnick understands and acknowledges
that he shall not be entitled to any compensation or benefits
from the Company other than those expressly set forth in this
paragraph.

   5.   In exchange for the compensation and benefits described
in Paragraph 4, Hootnick and his successors and assigns release
and absolutely discharge the Company and its shareholders,
present and former directors, present and former officers,
employees, agents, investors, attorneys, successors and assigns
of and from any and all claims, actions and causes of action,
whether now known or unknown, which Hootnick now has, or at any
other time had, or shall or may have against the Company based
upon or arising out of any matter, cause, fact, thing, act or
omission whatsoever occurring or existing at any time to and
including the effective date hereof, including, but not limited
to, any claims relating to or arising out of his employment with
the Company or the termination of that employment such as breach
of contract, wrongful termination or age, sex, disability or
other discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age
Discrimination In Employment Act of 1967, the Fair Employment and
Housing Act, the Americans With Disabilities Act or any other
applicable law. As used in this paragraph and Exhibit A, "the
Company" includes any and all divisions, subsidiaries or
affiliated entities of Maxtor Corporation.  As further
consideration for the compensation and benefits described in
paragraph 4, Hootnick agrees to sign the Release of Claims
attached hereto as Exhibit A on or after September 30, 1995.
Provided, that the foregoing releases of claims shall not affect
Hootnick's right to be indemnified by the Company in accordance
with any indemnity agreements between Hootnick and the Company,
or its by-laws, from any claims made against Hootnick which
relate to or arise out of the course and scope of Hootnick's
employment; to the extent that the Company maintains directors
and officers insurance coverage for its directors and/or officers
during the Employment Period, it shall also maintain such
coverage for Hootnick with respect to such claims.

   6.   Hootnick acknowledges that he has read section 1542 of
the Civil Code of the State of California which states:

      A general release does not extend to claims which the
      creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at
      the time of executing the release, which if known by him
      must have materially affected his settlement with the
      debtor.
          
Hootnick waives any right which he has or may have under section
1542 to the full extent that he may lawfully waive such rights
with respect to this general release of claims.

   7.   During the Employment Period Hootnick shall not, directly
or indirectly, provide any services or financial assistance as an
employee, consultant, partner, officer, director, shareholder,
investor or otherwise to any person or entity which is engaged
in, or plans to become engaged in, any activity which is
competitive with any of the Company's activities or planned
activities that are specific to the disk drive industry.  In the
event that Hootnick breaches this paragraph 7, the Company shall
have no further obligation or liability to Hootnick hereunder.
Provided, that this paragraph shall not apply to Hootnick's
ownership of one percent or less of the stock of any publicly-
traded corporation.

   8.   Hootnick acknowledges and agrees that he shall continue
to be bound by and comply with the terms of any proprietary
rights or confidentiality agreements between the Company and
Hootnick.

   9.   Hootnick agrees that he shall not, at any time in the
future, make any critical or disparaging statements about the
Company or any of its officers, directors, employees, affiliates
or products to any other person or entity.  Provided, that this
paragraph shall not prevent Hootnick from truthfully testifying
in response to a validly-issued subpoena or as otherwise may be
required by law.

   10.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from
the losing party its attorneys' fees and costs incurred in any
lawsuit or other action brought to enforce any right arising out
of this Agreement.

   11.  Hootnick agrees that he shall not directly or indirectly
disclose any of the terms of this Agreement to anyone other than
his immediate family or counsel, except as such disclosure may be
required for accounting or tax reporting purposes or as otherwise
may be required by law.  The Company agrees that it shall not
directly or indirectly disclose any of the terms of this
Agreement to anyone other than its officers, directors or
counsel, except as such disclosure may be required for accounting
or tax reporting purposes or as otherwise may be required by law.

   12.  The members of the Board of Directors of the Company
(other than Hootnick) have approved the principal economic terms
of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding any provision above, the
parties hereto shall have no continuing obligations under this
Agreement after September 30, 1995, except those obligations
described in paragraphs 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and Exhibit A.

   13.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior negotiations and agreements, whether written
or oral, with the exception of any stock option plans or
agreements or indemnity agreements between the parties and any
agreements described in paragraph 8.  This Agreement may not be
modified except by a document signed by an authorized officer of
the Company and Hootnick.

HOOTNICK UNDERSTANDS THAT HE SHOULD CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY
PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT HE IS GIVING UP ANY
LEGAL CLAIMS HE HAS AGAINST THE COMPANY BY SIGNING THIS
AGREEMENT.  HOOTNICK FURTHER UNDERSTANDS THAT HE MAY HAVE 21 DAYS
TO CONSIDER THIS AGREEMENT, THAT HE MAY REVOKE IT AT ANY TIME
DURING THE 7 DAYS AFTER HE SIGNS IT, AND THAT IT SHALL NOT BECOME
EFFECTIVE UNTIL THAT 7-DAY PERIOD HAS PASSED.  HOOTNICK
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS RESIGNING FROM THE COMPANY AND SIGNING
THIS AGREEMENT KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY IN EXCHANGE
FOR THE COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH 4.

original returned to Employee marked to indicate that it has been
paid in full. Employee will be eligible to continue his health
coverage at his own expense in accordance with federal law,
provided, however, that if Employee continues to use Maxtor's health
insurance program, Maxtor shall reimburse Employee his health
insurance premiums for a nine month period after July 20, 1994.
Employee shall also receive from Maxtor all amounts held by Maxtor
for him in his 401(k) account and all amounts withheld to date for
his account under the Maxpurchase 423 Plan.  The amounts owing under
the 401(k) and 423 Plans will be paid to Employee in accordance with
Maxtor's customary policy with respect to employees who leave the
company.  In addition to the above amounts, Employee will receive
payment for his accrued vacation allowance, less applicable
withholdings, on July 20, 1994, and Employee will be paid his base
salary, less applicable withholdings, through July 20, 1994.
Employee shall be entitled to exercise as vested, for a period of
six months after July 20, 1994 all of his outstanding stock options,
as shown on the attached schedule, whether or not otherwise vested
as of July 20, 1994.  Subject to the provisions contained in
Paragraph 9 below, Employee shall be allowed to retain the fax
machine, modem, disk drive and operating software provided to him by
the Company which are located at Employee's residence. Employee
acknowledges that he shall be entitled to no compensation or
benefits from Maxtor other than those expressly set forth in this
paragraph.

   3.   In exchange for the benefits described in paragraph 2 above
and the release of claims against Employee set out below, Employee,
for himself and his respective legal successors and assigns,
releases and absolutely discharges Maxtor and its shareholders,
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, affiliates,
investors, legal successors and assigns of and from any and all
claims, actions and causes of action, whether now known or unknown,
which Employee has, owns or holds, or at any time other time had,
owned or held or shall or may have, own, or hold against Maxtor
based upon or arising out of any matter, cause, fact, thing, act or
omission whatsoever occurring or existing at any time up to and
including the date hereof, including but not limited to, any claims
of breach of contract, wrongful termination, or race, sex,
disability or other discrimination under the Civil Rights Act, the
Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Employment and Housing
Act, or any other applicable law (all of which are hereinafter
included within the "Released Matters").  As used herein, "Maxtor"
includes any all parents, divisions or subsidiaries of Maxtor
Corporation.  In consideration for Employee's promises and other
undertakings herein, Maxtor and its parents, divisions and
subsidiaries, and Maxtor's officers, directors, legal successors and
assigns, hereby release Employee and his heirs, legal
representatives, estates, legal successors and assigns, from all
claims, rights, demands, actions, obligations, and causes of action
of any and every kind, nature and character, known or unknown, which
they may now have against Employee, or have ever had against him, up
to and including the date hereof, which claims arise from or in any
way relate to his employment relationship with Maxtor. Maxtor (other
than through Employee) has received no complaints or other notice of
any unlawful or tortious conduct by Employee up to the date of this
Agreement, and Employee has received no complaints or other notice
of any unlawful or tortious conduct by Employee and/or Maxtor up to
the date of this Agreement which Employee has not disclosed in
writing to Glenn Stevens as part of the normal transition of
Employee's duties as General Counsel.  As further consideration for
the mutual promises and consideration described herein, the parties
agree to extend the effectiveness of the foregoing releases through
July 20, 1994 by signing Attachment A hereto on or after July 20,
1994.  This release shall not extend, however, to any claims either
party may have in connection with any breach by the other party of
this Agreement or the agreements described in Paragraph 5 hereof.

    4.    Each  party acknowledges that it is familiar with  Section
1542 of the California Civil Code which states as follows:

   A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor
does not know or
   suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the
release, which if
   known by him must have materially affected his settlement with
the debtor.

Each party hereby waives any right or benefit which it has or may
have under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code to the full
extent that it may lawfully waive such rights and benefits
pertaining to the subject matter of this General Release of Claims
(the "Release").  Each party acknowledges that it may hereafter
discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those that
it now knows or believes to exist with respect to the subject matter
of this Release, and that it is its intention to fully, finally and
forever settle all of the Released Matters in exchange for the
benefits set forth above.

   5.   Employee acknowledges and agrees that he shall continue to
be bound by and comply with the terms of that certain Employee
Agreement Regarding Confidentiality and Inventions between Maxtor
and Employee dated June 8, 1992.  Maxtor and Employee shall continue
to be bound by the terms of the Indemnification Agreements between
Maxtor and Employee dated September 13, 1990 and July 20, 1993 for
the terms stated therein, and with respect to Stock Option
Agreements as described in Paragraph 2 above.  With respect to that
certain Letter of Credit in the amount of $175,000 previously
provided by Maxtor to Employee in accordance with the above
indemnification agreements (the "Letter"), the parties agree that
Maxtor shall have no obligation to maintain in effect or renew the
Letter (or any other letter of credit for Employee's benefit) after
its expiration on November 30, 1996.  The parties further agree that
Melonie Brophy's letter of June 14, 1994 regarding the Letter is
hereby rescinded, and the Company agrees that it will not cancel the
Letter before its expiration on November 30, 1996.

   6.   Employee agrees he shall not make any critical or
disparaging statements or distribute any critical or disparaging
written materials concerning Maxtor, its officers, directors,
employees and/or products; provided, however, this shall not
preclude Employee from giving truthful testimony in any legal
proceeding or responding truthfully (a) to any inquiries from any
Maxtor officers or directors or (b) as necessary in the performance
of his duties at Maxtor through July 20, 1994 and thereafter
pursuant to Paragraph 8.  Before giving any such testimony, Employee
shall provide Maxtor with at least five days' written notice of his
intent to provide such testimony, and Employee agrees to cooperate
fully with Maxtor in taking any steps (at Maxtor's expense) which
may be reasonably necessary and available to maintain the
confidentiality of such testimony, including, but not limited to,
the securing of appropriate protective orders.  Maxtor agrees that
its officers, directors and executive staff members shall not make
any critical or disparaging statements or distribute any critical or
disparaging written materials concerning Employee; provided,
however, that this shall not preclude Maxtor from giving truthful
testimony in any legal proceeding, nor from discussing, evaluating
or commenting upon Employee's work either among Maxtor employees or
with Maxtor's outside counsel who have a business reason to be
discussing, evaluating or commenting upon such work. Before giving
any such testimony, Maxtor shall provide Employee with at least five
days' written notice of its intent to provide such testimony, and
Maxtor agrees to cooperate fully with Employee in taking any steps
(at Employee's expense) which may be reasonably necessary and
available to maintain the confidentiality of such testimony,
including, but not limited to, the securing of appropriate
protective orders.

   7.   In the event Maxtor receives any requests for information
regarding Employee from potential employers, it will make reasonable
efforts to direct all such inquiries to Walter Amaral. Walter Amaral
will make no negative or derogatory statement about Employee, but
will respond to such inquiries with the information contained in
Attachment B.  In the event that Maxtor issues any press release
concerning Employee, such press release shall not contain any
information other than that set out in Attachment B or some part
thereof.

   8.   Employee agrees to make himself available to Maxtor through
July 20, 1994, on up to a full time basis if requested, for the
purposes of providing information and assistance, transitioning his
duties and responsibilities and/or performing other reasonable
tasks.  After July 20, 1994, Employee agrees that he will cooperate
with Maxtor in any investigations, lawsuits or other matters
involving Maxtor or its subsidiaries or affiliates concerning issues
as to which Employee had specific involvement, knowledge or
responsibility, or where subsequent assistance, information and
cooperation is reasonably necessary or appropriate.  Upon reasonable
notice and at reasonable times and for reasonable periods, Employee
will make himself available for such things as interviews,
depositions, trials and the like.

   9.   Employee has returned or will return to Maxtor's General
Counsel (other than Employee) by July 20, 1994, all Maxtor
information and Maxtor property, in whatever form or medium,
including, but not limited to, reports, files, memoranda, records,
credit cards, keys, passes, computer access codes, software, and any
other Maxtor information or property which is in his possession or
control and which he prepared, helped to prepare or acquired in
connection with his employment.  Employee will not retain any
copies, duplicates, reproductions or excerpts of same.  Employee
will also terminate any access which he has to Maxtor computers,
including any access from his residence or other locations outside
Maxtor facilities.  As used herein, the term "Maxtor information"
shall include information received from third parties in confidence
or as to which third parties may possess other proprietary rights,
and other Maxtor technical, business, marketing, legal or financial
information.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee may, subject
to the prior written consent of Maxtor's General Counsel (other than
Employee), retain blank copies of general business forms developed
by Employee for use in Maxtor's business which do not contain any
confidential or proprietary information of the Company. Such consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Employee may also identify (but
not retain the originals or any copies of) a reasonable number of
non-technical Maxtor documents, copies of which documents shall be
forwarded to Maxtor's outside counsel (Gray Cary Ware & Freidenrich)
by Maxtor's General Counsel (other than Employee) with a request
that the documents be maintained by Maxtor's outside counsel for a
period of three years following the date of this Agreement or until
any legal proceedings in which such documents are or may be involved
are finally concluded, whichever occurs later.  Such identification
shall be delivered to Maxtor's General Counsel (other than Employee)
in writing on or before July 20, 1994.

   10.   This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior   negotiations  and  agreements,  whether  written   or   oral
(including, but not limited to, the Letter Agreement dated  December
1,  1993),  with  the  exception  of  the  agreements  described  in
paragraph  5  and any stock option agreements between  Employee  and
Maxtor.  The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from  the
losing  party its attorneys' fees and costs incurred in any  lawsuit
or  other  action brought to enforce any right arising out  of  this
Agreement.  This Agreement may not be altered or amended except by a
written  document executed by Maxtor and Employee.  Employee  agrees
that  he shall not directly or indirectly disclose any of the  terms
of  this  Agreement  to anyone other than his  immediate  family  or
counsel  except as such disclosures may be necessary for  accounting
or  tax reporting purposes (provided, that Employee shall advise any
parties to whom he makes such disclosures that the information being
disclosed is confidential) or as otherwise may be required  by  law.
Before  making  a disclosure which is "otherwise required  by  law",
Employee  shall  provide  Maxtor with at least  five  days'  written
notice of his intent to make such disclosure, and Employee agrees to
cooperate  fully  with  Maxtor  in taking  any  steps  (at  Maxtor's
expense) which may be reasonably necessary and available to maintain
the  confidentiality of such disclosure, including, but not  limited
to, the securing of appropriate protective orders.

EMPLOYEE UNDERSTANDS THAT HE SHOULD CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY PRIOR
TO SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT HE IS GIVING UP ANY LEGAL CLAIMS
HE HAS AGAINST MAXTOR BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT.  EMPLOYEE FURTHER
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT HE IS SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY
AND VOLUNTARILY IN EXCHANGE FOR THE BENEFITS DESCRIBED IN PARAGRAPH
2
