                Re:  Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        At your request, we have examined Registration Statement on Form S-3,
filed by QLogic Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 8, 1997 (the "Registration
Statement"), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, of 345,000 shares of Common Stock, $.10 par value per
share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"), including 45,000 shares, for which
the underwriters have been granted an over-allotment option. The shares of
Common Stock are to be purchased by certain underwriters and offered for sale
to the public together with the shares registered pursuant to Registration
Statement No. 333-25881, which was declared effective on August 7, 1997 (the
"Initial Registration Statement"), pursuant to the terms of an Underwriting
Agreement which has been filed as an exhibit to the Initial Registration
Statement and is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement. 

        As your counsel in connection with this transaction, we have examined
the proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken
by you in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the shares of
the Common Stock.

        Based on the foregoing, and subject to compliance with applicable state
securities laws, it is our opinion that the 345,000 shares of Common Stock,
when issued and sold in the manner described in the Initial Registration 
Statement, the Registration Statement and related Prospectus, will be legally 
issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

        We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and to the use of our name under the caption "Legal Matters" in the
Prospectus which is a part of the Initial Registration Statement.


                                        Very truly yours,

                                        STRADLING, YOCCA, CARLSON & RAUTH
