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

Certain  prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1997
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
year.  It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be
read  in  conjunction with the audited  consolidated financial  statements for
the year ended December 31,  1996,  which  are contained  in  the Company's

redeemable at the option of the Company at set redemption prices (which range
from 100.65% to 101.30% of principal), plus accrued interest, commencing March
15, 2000.


   4.  Net Income Per Share
Net  income per share was computed on the basis of weighted average common and
dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding.  Primary and fully  diluted
weighted average shares outstanding  used  in  the per share  computations
reflect the dilutive effects of the Notes  for the quarter   ended   March  31,
1997,  and  of  the   41/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2001 for the
quarter ended March 30,  1996. The dilutive  effects  of  outstanding stock
options are reflected  in all periods presented.

In  February  1997, the Financial Accounting Standards  Board issued
Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards No.  128,  "Earnings per
Share"  which  is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15,
1997.   This  Statement replaces the presentation of  primary earnings
per  share  ("EPS")  with a presentation of basic EPS,  which excludes
dilutive  securities.  It also requires a reconciliation of the basic
EPS  to  diluted EPS and dual presentation on the face  of  the income
statement.   Pro  forma net income per share for the first  quarter of
1997  and 1996, respectively, as computed under the new standard is as
 follows:

                                            March 31, 1997 March 30, 1996

 Net income per weighted average share, basic      $0.45       $0.37


 Net income per weighted average share, diluted    $0.44       $0.35


  5.  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.


6.  Subsequent Events

In  the  second quarter of 1997, the Company announced a worldwide
reseller   agreement   with  SNI.   Under  the terms of this agreement, EMC is
SNI's preferred and  primary  supplier of storage solutions for SNI's
customers. SNI will resell  EMC's  Symmetrix 3000 and  5000  series  of  systems
for connection  to SNI's families of mainframe and open systems computers.
At  the  Annual  Meeting  held  on  May  7,  1997,  the Company's stockholders
elected two Class I members to the Board of Directors for a  three-year  term,
approved an increase in the number  of shares of authorized  common  stock  of
the Company  to  750,000,000  shares and approved  the  addition  of 6,000,000
shares of  common  stock  to the Company's 1993 Stock Option Plan.

 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS  OF OPERATIONS - First Quarter of 1997 compared to First Quarter of 1996
(in thousands) ---------------------------------------------------------
Revenues
The  Management's  Discussion and Analysis of  Financial Condition and Results
of  Operations  should be read in conjunction  with the risk factors  set  forth
on page 13 and in EMC's other filings at the  U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Total  revenues  for  the  quarter ended March 31,  1997  were $618,437 compared
to  $521,487  for the first quarter of 1996, an increase  of $96,950 or 19%.
The  increase  in  revenues was due primarily to  the  continued strong demand
for the Company's Symmetrix series of products, particularly the Symmetrix  3000
series of products for the open systems market.  In January 1997, EMC announced
six new Symmetrix products,  which represented  65% of first quarter product
revenues. These new  products address the growing need for Enterprise Storage.
Revenues  from  products  sold directly and through  original equipment
manufacturers ("OEM's") and resellers into the mainframe storage market, which
include  Symmetrix products operating primarily in  the  Multiple Virtual
Storage ("MVS") environment, were $279,966 in the first quarter of  1997,
compared to $309,155 in the first quarter of 1996, a decrease of $29,189 or 9%.
The decrease in the mainframe revenue levels reflects a market transition from
proprietary mainframe storage to products operating in an open systems
environment.
Revenues  from  products sold directly and through OEM's  and resellers into
the  open  systems  storage market, which  include the  Symmetrix products
operating in an open systems environment and other  products, were $274,438 in
the first quarter of 1997, compared to $146,707 in  the first  quarter  of
1996, an increase of $127,731 or 87%.   The  Company expects further growth in
the open systems revenue levels and revenue as a  percentage  of  total revenue
in this market throughout 1997.  (See, however, "Factors that May Affect
Future Results.")

Revenues  from  products  sold  by McDATA  Corporation,  a  wholly owned
subsidiary of EMC ("McDATA"), which include the ESCON Director series of
products, were $43,532 in the first quarter of 1997, compared to $39,296
in the first quarter of 1996, an increase of $4,236 or 11%.


<PAGE>                      -10-
                       EMC CORPORATION

Revenues  from all other products, which include the midrange series of
products, were $2,964 in the first quarter of 1997, compared to $14,026 in  the
first  quarter  of 1996, a decrease of  $11,062  or 79%.    The decrease is
primarily attributable to the declines in midrange revenues.

Software revenues were $26,532 and $11,748 in the first quarters of 1997 and
1996, respectively.  Software revenues are included in the product revenues for
the respective mainframe and open systems markets.

Revenues  from  service  and rental income were  $17,537  in  the first quarter
of 1997, compared to $12,303 in the first quarter of 1996,  an increase of
$5,234 or 43%.

In  October 1995, the Company entered into a reseller agreement with HP under
which HP markets and resells the Symmetrix 3000 series of systems worldwide  for
connection to HP's 9000 series computers. This agreement was  expanded  to
enable HP to also market and resell  this family  of systems  for  connection
to HP's 3000 series  computers. The  current agreement  extends through August
1997.  Revenues for the first  quarter of  1997 and  1996  under this agreement
were $107,517 and $46,597 , or 17% and 9% of total revenues, respectively.

In  January  1997,  the Company entered into a reseller  agreement with Sequent
under  which  Sequent markets and resells  the Symmetrix  3000 series  of
systems worldwide for connection to Sequent's Symmetry series and  NUMA-Q
series computers.  The agreement currently extends  through January 1999.

In March 1997, the Company announced that it had expanded its agreements with
Unisys to include a worldwide reseller agreement under which Unisys markets  and
resells  the Symmetrix 3000 and 5000 series  of  systems worldwide for
connection to Unisys mainframe and open systems computers. The agreement
currently extends through December 1998.

In  April 1997, the Company announced a reseller agreement with SNI under  which
SNI markets  and resells  the  Symmetrix  3000 and 5000 series of systems
worldwide  for connection  to  SNI's families of mainframe and open systems
computers. The agreement currently extends through September 2002.

Revenues  on  sales into the North American markets were $361,646 in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $307,617 in the first quarter of 1996, an increase
of $54,029, or 18%.  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 all markets outside North America were $256,791 or 42% of
total  revenues  in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $213,870 or 41% of
total revenues  for the  first quarter of 1996.

<PAGE>

                            -11-
                       EMC CORPORATION

The Company expects further increases in international  sales as a percentage of
total revenues throughout 1997. (See, however, "Factors that May Affect Future
Results.") Revenues on sales into the markets of Europe, Africa and the Middle
East were  $196,215 in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $163,225 in  the
first quarter of 1996, an increase of $32,990, or 20%, 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 the Asia  Pacific  region were $58,925
in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $48,117 in the first quarter  of  1996,
an  increase of $10,808, or 22%, due to increased revenue levels from sales of
the Symmetrix series of products, primarily in the mainframe storage market.
Revenues on sales into the markets of South America were $1,651 in the first
quarter of 1997 compared to $2,528 in the first quarter of 1996, a decrease of
$877 or 35%.

Gross Margins
Gross margins increased to 45.7% of revenues in the first quarter of 1997,
compared to 43.8% of revenues in the first quarter of 1996. This increase is
primarily attributable to the following: the impact of cost declines in raw
material components being greater than the impact of price declines in the
mainframe and open systems storage markets, higher software revenues and
revenues attributable to the new Symmetrix products.  The Company currently
believes that price declines will continue in the mainframe and open systems
environments.

Research and Development

Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $48,091 and $35,318 in the first
quarters of 1997 and 1996, respectively, an increase of $12,773, or 36%.  R&D
expenses were 7.8% and 6.8% of revenues in the first quarters of 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  The increase was partially due to the cost of additional
technical staff, particularly to support development of products for the
Enterprise Storage market, and is also attributable to expenses associated with
computer equipment acquired to facilitate this development.  The Company expects
to continue to spend substantial amounts for R&D for the balance of 1997 and
thereafter.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling,  general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses were $97,624 and $81,763
in  the  first  quarters of 1997  and  1996, respectively,  an increase  of
$15,861  or 19%. SG&A expenses were 15.8%  and  15.7%  of revenues  in  the
first quarters of 1997 and 1996,  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 initiatives to

<PAGE>
                            -12-
                       EMC CORPORATION

expand  sales  of  its  Enterprise Storage products.   The Company has expanded
its  international direct sales force, as well  as its OEM, reseller, alliance
and partnership programs with applications, systems and database vendors.  SG&A
expenses are  expected to increase in dollar terms for the balance of 1997  and
thereafter.

Investment Income and Interest Expense

Investment income was $11,684 in the first quarter of 1997 compared with $6,325
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 1997 primarily due to  higher  cash  and investment  balances which
were derived from operations  and  the  Notes that were issued in March of 1997.
Interest  expense decreased by $1,657 to $1,402 in the first quarter of 1997
from  $3,059  in  the first quarter of  1996. The decrease was attributable  to
the  conversion of the 41/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2001 into equity
on January 2, 1997 offset by the issuance  of the Notes in March of 1997.
Provision for Income Taxes
The  provision  for income taxes was $38,248 and $30,170  in  the first quarters
of 1997 and 1996, respectively, which resulted in an effective tax  rate  of
25.6% in the first quarter of 1997 and 26.3% in the  first quarter  of  1996.
The decrease in the effective tax rate  is  mainly attributable  to  the
realization of  benefits associated  with   the continued progress on the
Company's various tax strategies.  The Company provides  for income taxes based
upon its estimate of full year earnings on a country-by-country basis.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Cash  and  cash  equivalents  and short and long-term  investments were
$1,339,549  and  $840,858  at  March 31, 1997  and  December 31, 1996,
respectively, an increase of $498,691.
Cash provided by operating activities for the first three months of 1997 was
$38,979, generated primarily from net income offset primarily by  an increase
in  inventory related to the transition to  six  new Symmetrix products
worldwide.   Cash used by investing activities was $336,728,
principally for  the  purchase of short and long-term investments and additions
to property,  plant  and equipment.  Cash provided by financing  activities was
$503,003, principally from the issuance of the Notes  in  March  of 1997.

At  March 31, 1997, the Company had available for use its credit line of
$50,000.   The  Company may elect to borrow at any time. Based  on its current
operating  and  capital  expenditure forecasts,  the  Company
believes funds currently available, funds generated from operations and its
available line of credit will be adequate to finance its operations, as well as
potential acquisitions.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

This  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements as
defined  under  the  Federal Securities Laws. Actual results  could differ
materially from those projected in the forward looking statements as a result of
certain risk factors, including but not limited to: (i) a failure  by  any
supplier of high density DRAMs, disk drives  or  other components to meet EMC's
requirements for an extended period  of  time; (ii) the  transition to new
products; (iii) the historic and  recurring "hockey stick" pattern   of  the
Company's  sales   by which   a disproportionate percentage of a quarter's total
sales occur in the last month  and  weeks  and days of each quarter;  (iv)  the
"hockey stick" pattern of the Company's sales, making it extremely difficult to
predict near-term  demand  and  adjust  production capacity accordingly;   (v)
competitive factors, including but not limited to pricing pressures,  in
the computer storage market;  (vi)  fluctuating currency exchange rates; (vii)
the relative and varying rates of product price and component cost declines;
(viii)  termination of the agreements with certain of the Company's OEM's or
resellers; (ix) other  onetime events and  other important  factors disclosed
previously and from time to time in EMC's other filings at the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission.

Item 2.   Changes in Securities

On March 11, 1997, the Company sold an aggregate of $450,000,000 principal
amount of  the Notes through a private offering to qualified institutional
buyers, to certain institutional accredited investors and outside the United
States to non-U.S. investors.  The initial purchasers were Smith Barney Inc.,
Alex. Brown & Sons and Morgan Stanley & Co.  On March 12, 1997, the initial
purchasers exercised an option to purchase an additional $67,500,000 of the
Notes to cover overallotments, which sale was completed on March 13, 1997.  The
aggregate of the discounts and commissions was $10,350,000.
The Notes were sold in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act to
"qualified institutional buyers," Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) under the
Securities Act to a limited number of other "accredited investors," and
Regulation S under the Securities Act outside the United States to certain
persons in offshore transactions.
The Notes are convertible into common stock of the Company at a conversion price
of $45.31 per share at any time after the 60th day following the date of
original issuance of the Notes and thereafter at any time at or before maturity,
unless previously redeemed, subject to adjustment in certain events.
The Company has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 with the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act, which is expected to become
effective during May of 1997 and which will permit the resale, on a registered
basis, of the Notes and of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of the Notes from time to time by the securityholders named or to be named
therein. The Company has also applied for the Notes and the underlying shares to
be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
