         Re:     QLogic Corporation Registration Statement For Offering of 
                 Common Stock

Gentlemen:

         At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form
S-8 (the "Registration Statement") filed by you with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Act"), of 335,000 shares of your common stock, $0.10 par value
(the "Stock"). We are familiar with the actions taken and proposed to be taken
by you in connection with the authorization and proposed issuance and sale of
the Stock.

         It is our opinion that when the Registration Statement has become
effective under the Act, subject to said actions being duly taken and completed
by you as now contemplated prior to the issuance of the Stock and subject to the
appropriate qualification of the Stock by the appropriate authorities of the
various states in which the Stock will be sold, the Stock will, upon the
issuance and the sale thereof in the manner referred to in said Registration
Statement, be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         We hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.


                                       Respectfully submitted,


                                       JEFFER, MANGELS, BUTLER & MARMARO LLP
