Accounting
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared  in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.   These
statements  include  the  accounts  of  EMC  and  its  subsidiaries.   Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Company's annual
consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted.  The interim
consolidated financial statements, in the opinion of management,  reflect  all
adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring accruals)  necessary  for  a
fair statement of the results for the interim periods ended June 29, 1996  and
July 1, 1995.

Certain  prior  year amounts have been reclassified to conform with  the  1996
presentation.

The  results  of  operations  for  the interim  periods  are  not  necessarily
indicative  of the results of operations to be expected for the entire  fiscal

  3.  Net Income Per Share

Net  income per share was computed on the basis of weighted average common and
dilutive  common  equivalent  shares outstanding.   Primary  weighted  average
shares  outstanding and earnings used in per share computations for the  three
and  six  months  ended  June 29, 1996 and July 1, 1995 reflect  the  dilutive
effects  of  the 4 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2001 (the  "Notes")
and   outstanding  stock  options.  Fully  diluted  weighted  average   shares
outstanding  and earnings used in per share computations for  the  six  months
ended  July  1,  1995 reflect the dilutive effects of the 6  1/4%  convertible
subordinated debentures, which were either converted or redeemed on  or  prior
to  April  1,  1995,  in  addition to the dilutive effect  of  the  Notes  and
outstanding stock options.


4.Litigation

The Company is a party to litigation which it considers routine and incidental
to  its  business.  Management does not expect the results  of  any  of  these
actions  to  have  a  material adverse effect on  the  Company's  business  or
financial condition.

      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations - Second Quarter of 1996 compared to Second Quarter of 
1995
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues

Revenues  for  the quarter ended June 29, 1996 were $545,017,000  compared  to
$478,553,000  for  the second quarter of 1995, an increase of  $66,464,000  or
14%.

The  increase in revenues was due primarily to the continued strong demand for
the  Company's series of Integrated Cached Disk Array ("ICDA") based products,
particularly the open systems products which include the Symmetrix 3000 series
of products and the Centriplex series of products.

Revenues  from products sold into the mainframe storage market, which includes
the Symmetrix 5000 series of products, were $309,494,000 in the second quarter
of 1996, compared to $376,652,000 in the second quarter of 1995, a decrease of
$67,158,000 or 18%.

Revenues  from  products  sold  into the open systems  storage  market,  which
includes  the Symmetrix 3000 series of products and the Centriplex  series  of
products,  were  $169,582,000  in the second  quarter  of  1996,  compared  to
$22,060,000  in  the  second quarter of 1995, an increase of  $147,522,000  or
669%.

Revenues  from products sold by McDATA Corporation, a wholly-owned  subsidiary
of  EMC ("McDATA"), which includes the ESCON Director series of products, were
$45,980,000  in  the  second quarter of 1996, compared to $43,051,000  in  the
second quarter of 1995, an increase of $2,929,000 or 7%.

Revenues  from  all  other products, which includes  the  midrange  series  of
products,  were  $8,179,000  in  the  second  quarter  of  1996,  compared  to
$24,761,000 in the second quarter of 1995, a decrease of $16,582,000 or 67%.

Revenues from service and rental income were $11,782,000 in the second quarter
of  1996, compared to $12,029,000 in the second quarter of 1995, a decrease of
$247,000 or 2%.

On  October  31,  1995,  the Company entered into a  reseller  agreement  with
Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP") wherein HP will market and resell the Symmetrix
3000 family of systems worldwide for connection to HP's 9000 series computers.
This  agreement has been expanded to enable HP to also market and resell  this
family of systems for connection to HP's 3000 series computers.  The agreement
currently extends to June 30, 1997.

Revenues  on  sales into the markets of North America and South  America  were
$330,873,000  in  the second quarter of 1996 compared to $291,005,000  in  the
second quarter of 1995, an increase of $39,868,000, or 14%.  This increase was
due  primarily to increased revenue levels from sales of the Symmetrix  series
of products in the open systems storage market.

Revenues on sales into the markets of Europe, Africa and the Middle East  were
$166,034,000  in  the second quarter of 1996 compared to $159,365,000  in  the
second  quarter  of 1995, an increase of $6,669,000, or 4%, due  primarily  to
increased revenue levels from sales of the Symmetrix series of products in the
open systems storage market.

Revenues on sales into the markets in the Asia Pacific region were $48,110,000
in the second quarter of 1996 compared to $28,183,000 in the second quarter of
1995,  an increase of $19,927,000, or 71%, due primarily to increased  revenue
levels from sales of the Symmetrix series of products in the mainframe storage
market.

Cost of Sales and Service

Cost of sales and service increased to 56.0% of revenues in the second quarter
of  1996,  compared to 48.4% of revenues in the second quarter of 1995.   This
increase  is  primarily attributable to the impact of price  declines  in  the
mainframe  and open systems storage markets being greater than the  impact  of
cost declines in raw material components.  The Company currently believes that
price declines will continue.

In May 1996, the Company opened its international Customer Support Center,
based in Ireland, to provide primary response for all technical support issues
related to EMC storage systems installed outside of North America.

Research and Development

Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $39,632,000 and $43,951,000  in
the  second quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of $4,319,000,
or  9.8%.   R&D expenses were 7.3% and 9.2% of revenues in the second quarters
of  1996 and 1995, respectively. Dollar decreases in R&D spending reflect  the
consolidation  of  domestic  development efforts  and  the  capitalization  of
software  development costs primarily related to specific  software  products.
The  decrease  was partially offset by the cost of additional technical  staff
and  depreciation  expenses  associated with  capital  equipment  acquired  to
facilitate  development.  The Company expects to continue to spend substantial
amounts for R&D in 1996.

<PAGE>

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling,  general  and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were  $87,159,000  and
$74,495,000 in the second quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase
of $12,664,000 or 17.0%. SG&A expenses were 16.0% and 15.6% of revenues in the
second  quarters of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The dollar increase  is  due
primarily  to  costs associated with additional worldwide  sales  and  support
personnel  and their related overhead costs.  These costs are attributable  to
the  Company's increased revenue levels and the Company's initiative to expand
its open systems storage products, expansion of the international direct sales
force and OEM and strategic alliance programs.  SG&A expenses are expected  to
increase in dollar terms for the balance of 1996.
                                   
Investment Income and Interest Expense

Investment  income was $8,041,000 in the second quarter of 1996 compared  with
$5,876,000  in  the same period a year ago.  Interest income was  earned  from
investments   in  cash  equivalents,  and  short  and  long-term  investments.
Investment  income  increased  in  1996  primarily  due  to  higher  cash  and
investment  balances in the second quarter of 1996 over  the  same  period  in
1995.

Interest  expense decreased slightly in the second quarter of  1996  from  the
second quarter of 1995.

Provision for Income Taxes

The  provision for income taxes was $31,065,000 and $37,540,000 in the  second
quarters  of  1996 and 1995, respectively, which resulted in an effective  tax
rate of 26.3% in the second quarter of 1996 and 28.5% in the second quarter of
1995.   The decrease in the effective tax rate is mainly attributable  to  the
realization  of benefits associated with the implementation of  the  Company's
tax strategies.  The Company provides for income taxes based upon its estimate
of full year earnings on a country-by-country basis.

Earnings Fluctuations

Due  to  (i)  customers' tendencies to make purchase decisions  late  in  each
fiscal  quarter, (ii) the desire by customers to evaluate new, more  expensive
products  for  longer  periods  of  time, (iii)  the  timing  of  product  and
technology  announcements by the Company and its competitors, (iv) fluctuating
currency  exchange rates, (v) competitive pricing pressures  in  the  computer
storage  market and (vi) the relative and varying rates of product  price  and
component cost declines, the Company's period to period revenues and  earnings
could, under certain circumstances, fluctuate significantly.

Revenues  on  sales  into  the  markets of North  America  and  South  America
increased  by $88,821,000, or 16%, to $641,018,000 in the first six months  of
1996 from $552,197,000 in the first six months of 1995.  This increase was due

$75,007,000  in  the  first  six months of 1995, due  primarily  to  increased

or 10.7%.  R&D expenses were 7.0% and 9.1% of revenues in the first six months

Investment Income and Interest Expense

Investment  income was $14,366,000 in the first six months  of  1996  compared
with  $12,436,000 in the same period a year ago.  Interest income  was  earned
from  investments  in  cash equivalents, and short and long-term  investments.
Investment income increased in the first six months of 1996 primarily  due  to
higher  cash and investment balances in the first six months of 1996 over  the
same period in 1995.

Interest  expense decreased slightly in the first six months of 1996 from  the
same  period  in  1995,  primarily due to conversion  and  redemption  of  the
Debentures in the first quarter of 1995.

Provision for Income Taxes

The  provision for income taxes was $61,235,000 and $73,975,000 in  the  first
six  months of 1996 and 1995, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax
rate of 26.3% and 29.2%, respectively.  The decrease in the effective tax rate

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Cash and short-term investments were $500,162,000 and $379,628,000 at June 29,
1996 and December 30, 1995, respectively.

Cash and short and long-term investments were $685,709,000 and $504,904,000 at
June 29, 1996 and December 30, 1995, respectively.  In the first six months of
1996, cash and short and long-term investments increased by $180,805,000.

Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 1996
amounted to $244,284,000.  This was primarily generated from net income and
improvements in inventories and receivables.  Cash used by investing
activities was $122,097,000, principally for additions to property, plant and
equipment, and the purchase of long-term investments.  Cash used by financing
activities was $2,403,000 principally due to repurchases of treasury stock,
offset by proceeds from stock option exercises.  The Company currently expects
to generate a further increase in cash and short and long-term investments
over the remainder of 1996.

At  June  29,  1996,  the Company had available for use its  credit  lines  of
$72,000,000.   The Company may elect to borrow at any time from  these  credit
lines.  Based on its current operating and capital expenditure forecasts,  the
Company  believes funds currently available, funds generated  from  operations
and its available lines of credit will be adequate to finance its operations.
