There are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement the following documents and information heretofore filed with the Securities and

ITEM 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant, indemnification to
directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Company's Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of the Company's directors to the Company or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.  The
Company's Bylaws, as amended, provide for the mandatory indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, and the Company has entered into agreements with its officers,
directors and certain key employees implementing such indemnification.

ITEM 9.
Undertakings
.
A.    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)      To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration
statement.
(2)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)      To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B.    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
C.    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, the Bylaws of the Company, as amended, indemnification agreements entered into between the Company and its officers and
directors or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company in successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Registrant, Quantum Corporation, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware,

RE:       REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed by you with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about November 19, 2004 (the "Registration
Statement"), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 10,819,080 shares of Quantum Corporation—DSS Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), reserved for issuance pursuant to the Employee
Stock Purchase Plan, as amended, and the 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, (the "Plans").  As your counsel in connection with the transaction, we have examined the proceedings taken and are familiar with the proceedings proposed to be taken
by you in connection with the sale and issuance of the Shares pursuant to the Plans.
It is our opinion that, when issued and sold in the manner referred to in the Plans, the Shares will be legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and further consent to the use of our name wherever appearing in the Registration
Statement and any amendment thereto.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati
