                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants and Plan Administrator of the
EMC Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets available for plan benefits
at December 31, 1999 and the related statement of changes in assets available
for plan benefits for the year then ended present fairly, in all material
respects, the assets available for plan benefits of the EMC Corporation 401(k)
Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December 31, 1999, and the changes in assets
available for plan benefits for the year then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management; our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.  We
conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with auditing standards
generally accepted in the United States which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998 were
audited by other independent accountants, whose report dated July 26, 1999
expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974.  This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Participants and Plan Administrator of the
EMC Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits
of the EMC Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 1998, and the
related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the EMC
Corporations 401(k) Savings Plan as of December 31, 1998, and the changes in its
net assets available for benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  These supplemental
schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                       EMC CORPORATION 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.        DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

          The following description of the EMC Corporation 401(k) Savings Plan
          (the "Plan") provides only general information.  Participants should
          refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the
          Plan's provisions.

          GENERAL

          The Plan is a contributory defined contribution plan established
          January 1, 1983 for the purpose of providing an opportunity for
          retirement income and increased savings to the employees of EMC
          Corporation (the "Company"), Plan sponsor, who meet the length of
          service requirements. Plan assets acquired under this Plan as a
          result of contributions, investment income, and other additions to the
          Plan will be administered for the exclusive benefit of the
          participants and their beneficiaries. It is subject to the provisions
          of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

          CONTRIBUTIONS

          Participants may elect to contribute an amount not to exceed, in the
          aggregate, between 1% and 15% of their compensation on a pretax basis
          while participating in the Plan. Participants may also contribute
          amounts representing distributions from other qualified plans
          (rollover contributions). In any Plan year, the Company may
          contribute to participants' accounts a quarterly matching contribution
          equal to a percentage of the participant's compensation contributed to
          the Plan as determined by the Company's Board of Directors up to a
          maximum quarterly matching contribution of $750. In addition,
          discretionary Company profit sharing contributions based on different
          discretionary goals established for separate business units within the
          Company may be made upon a vote of the Board of Directors. To be
          eligible for an allocation of Company quarterly matching
          contributions, a participant must be employed by the Company on the
          last day of the calendar quarter. To be eligible for an allocation of
          discretionary Company profit sharing contributions, a participant must
          have completed at least 1,000 hours of service during the Plan year
          and be employed by the Company on the last day of the Plan year.
          Contributions are subject to certain limitations under the Internal
          Revenue Code (the "Code").

          PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

          Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. is the
          Plan's recordkeeper. Each participant's account is credited with the
          participant's contribution, the Company's discretionary matching
          contribution and an allocation of the profit sharing contributions and
          Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or
          account balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is
          entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant's
          vested account.

          VESTING AND FORFEITURE

          Participants are immediately vested 100% in their voluntary
          contributions, rollover contributions, Company matching contributions
          plus the investment earnings arising from these contributions.
          Company discretionary profit sharing contributions are subject to a
          vesting schedule based on the number of years of continuous service as
          follows:

</TABLE>

          Participants' interest in their accounts shall become 100% vested and
          nonforfeitable without regard to their credited years of service if
          they are employed by the Company on or after age 65, incur a permanent
          and total disability or die while employed by the Company.

          If a participant who is not fully vested terminates employment with
          the Company, the participant shall be entitled to the vested portion
          of their account. The nonvested portion is forfeited and will be
          applied to the payment of Plan expenses.

          INVESTMENT OPTIONS

          Participants elect to invest the contributions to their accounts in
          five- percent increments in the following options:

          rules applicable to each investment. Fidelity Management Trust

          PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

          Benefits are payable upon normal retirement age (65), death, and
          separation from service or proven hardship. Participants who were a
          Plan member as of December 31, 1998 may elect to receive the value of
          their vested interest in his or her account in the form of an
          installment or in a lump-sum distribution. Participants who became
          Plan members after such date will receive their vested interest in his
          or her account in a lump-sum distribution. In any event, payment of
          benefits must commence when the participant reaches age 70 1/2, or
          following the year they terminate employment. However, a 5% owner of
          the Company will be required to begin receiving minimum distributions
          from their account by the April 1 following attainment of age 70 1/2
          regardless of whether they have terminated employment at that time.

          PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE

          Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000
          up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or one-half of the
          participant's vested account balance. Loan terms range from 1-5 years
          or up to 10 years if used for the purchase of a primary residence.
          The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and
          bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as
          determined by the Plan Administrator. Interest rates ranged from
          8.75% - 10% for 1999 and 1998. Principal and interest are paid
          ratably through payroll deductions.

          MERGER INTO PLAN

          On October 12, 1999, the Company acquired Data General Corporation.
          In connection with the acquisition, the Data General Corporation
          Savings and Investment Plan (the "Data General Plan") merged into the
          Plan on January 1, 2000 resulting in the transfer of assets of
          $223,571,109 into the Plan. Former participants of the Data General
          Plan, eligible to participate in the Plan, began to participate in the
          Plan on January 1, 2000.


2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

          The financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the accrual
          method of accounting.

          USE OF ESTIMATES

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
          principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Plan
          administrator to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain
          reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results may
          differ from those estimates.

          INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION

          Investments are valued at fair value. Investments in shares of mutual
          funds and the common collective trust are value based on net asset
          value announced by the fund. EMC Corporation common stock is valued
          at the quoted market price. Loans to participants are valued at cost
          plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.

          The Plan presents in the statements of changes in assets available for
          plan benefits net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
          investments which consists of realized gains or losses and unrealized
          appreciation (depreciation) on investments. The cost of investments
          is determined on the average cost basis in calculating realized gains
          or losses.

          Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.
          Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are
          recorded on the ex-dividend date.

          EXPENSES OF THE PLAN

          Administrative expenses, including legal and participant accounting,
          and other costs of administrating the Plan, and all expenses directly
          relating to the investments are charged to and paid by the Plan unless
          paid by the Company. For 1999 and 1998, the Company paid all Plan
          expenses.

          TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

          Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the
          right to terminate the Plan. The Plan administrator, upon termination
          of the Plan, shall cause the assets of the Plan to be allocated as
          described in the Plan agreement. In the event of Plan termination,
          participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

          PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

          Benefits are recorded when paid.

          RECLASSIFICATIONS

          Amounts shown by investment fund option on the statement of assets
          available for plan benefits as of December 31, 1998 and the statement
          of changes in assets available for plan benefits for the year ended
          December 31, 1998 have been reclassified to be shown in total to
          conform to current year presentation in order to adopt AICPA Statement
          of Position 99-3, "Accounting for and Reporting of Certain Defined
          Contribution Plan Investments and Other Disclosure Matters."


3.       TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN

           The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Plan
           sponsor by a letter dated November 18, 1998 that the Plan and
           related trust are designed in accordance with applicable sections of
           the Code. The Plan has since been amended and a new letter has not
           been requested. Management has asserted the Plan, as amended, and
           its operations have been and continue to be in accordance with all
           applicable provisions of the Code and the Employee Retirement Income
           Security Act of 1974. Therefore, a provision for income taxes is
           not required.


4.       EMC CORPORATION COMMON STOCK

          The Plan invests in EMC Corporation common stock. During the years
          ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, the Plan purchased shares of the
          common stock in the amounts of $10,822,030 and $1,289,813,
          respectively, and sold shares of the common stock in the amounts of
          $389,052 and $23,079, respectively. The total value of shares held of
          EMC Corporation common stock was $11,468,519 and $1,266,735 at
          December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.


5.       DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PRESENTATION OF ASSET
          INFORMATION IN FORM 5500

          As described in Note 1 of these financial statements, the Data General
          Plan was merged into the Plan as of January 1, 2000 and the December
          31, 1999 financial statements for the Plan do not reflect the merger.
          The Form 5500 for the Plan shows the transfer of assets occurring on
          December 31, 1999. The two approaches reflect agreement that the
          assets and participants had moved to the respective recipient plan as
          of January 1, 2000. The only difference concerns whether the transfer
          in from the Data General Plan occurred as of January 1, 2000 or,
          instead, occurred the moment before that - i.e., as of the close of
          business on December 31, 1999.
