Dear Paul,
Following our conversation and my subsequent discussion with the Board
this afternoon, I would like to confirm my resignation from the Board of Quantum
Corp effective today.
As I mentioned to you and the Board, I am resigning due to my belief in
business strategies that are different from those of management and a majority
of the Board members, and the practical reality that my own views will not
prevail.
On a personal level, I have enjoyed working with you and the Quantum
team, despite our differences on business issues.
I
wish you and Quantum the very best of success going forward.
Sincerely,
/s/ Philip Black
Philip Black
