Exhibit 10.2

AMENDMENT TO

SECOND WAIVER AND CONSENT

     This Amendment to Second Waiver and Consent (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of this
31st day of May, 2006, by and between The Canopy Group, Inc., a Utah corporation
(“Canopy”), and MTI Technology Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“MTI”).

     On December 28, 2004, MTI and Canopy entered into that certain Second Waiver and Consent (the
"Waiver”), attached hereto as Exhibit “A.” On June 15, 2005, MTI entered into that certain
Third Amendment to Loan and Security Agreement, between MTI and Comerica Bank, amending the
revolving maturity date to May 31, 2006 (the “Comerica Amendment”), attached hereto as Exhibit
“B.” Canopy remains MTI’s major stockholder and agrees that it is in the best interest of MTI
and its stockholders that it amend the Waiver as set forth herein. All terms not otherwise defined
shall have the meaning set forth in the Waiver.

     Whereas, in order to obtain Canopy’s wavier and consent to MTI’s obligations under the
Comerica Amendment, MTI desires to grant a warrant to Canopy to purchase shares of MTI’s common
stock on the terms set forth herein.

     Now, therefore, in consideration of the promises, covenants and agreements set forth below,
the mutual benefits to be derived from the transactions described above and other good and valuable
consideration, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. MTI agrees to grant a warrant to Canopy to purchase shares of MTI’s common stock, on
the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant attached as Exhibit “C.”

     2. Canopy consents to MTI’s entering into and performing its obligations under the
Comerica Amendment and agrees to guarantee MTI’s line of credit with Comerica Bank through
December 31, 2006.

     3. Section 3(c) of the Waiver is hereby deleted in its entirety.

     4. Canopy hereby represents, warrants and covenants to MTI as follows:

     4.1 Purchase for Own Account. Canopy represents that it is acquiring the
Warrant, and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (collectively, the
“Securities”) solely for investment for Canopy’s own account not as a nominee or agent, and
not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Canopy has no
present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the
same. The acquisition by Canopy of any of the Securities shall constitute confirmation of
the representation by Canopy that Canopy does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement
or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or
to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities.

1

 

     4.2 Accredited Investor. Canopy represents that it is an “accredited investor”
within the meaning of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D, as
presently in effect and, for the purpose of Section 25102(f) of the California Corporations
Code, it is excluded from the count of “purchasers” pursuant to Rule 260.102.13 thereunder.

     4.3 Restrictions on Transfer. Canopy understands that the Securities are
characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they
are being acquired from MTI in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under
such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), only in certain limited
circumstances. In this connection Canopy represents that it is familiar with Rule 144,
promulgated under the Act as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations
imposed thereby and by the Act. CANOPY UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES HEREIN THAT AN
INVESTMENT IN MTI’S SECURITIES INVOLVES AN EXTREMELY HIGH DEGREE OF RISK AND MAY RESULT IN A
COMPLETE LOSS OF ITS INVESTMENT. Canopy understands that the Securities have not been and
will not be registered under the Act and have not been and will not be registered or
qualified in any state in which they are offered, and thus Canopy will not be able to resell
or otherwise transfer its Securities unless they are registered under the Act and registered
or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration
or qualification is available. Canopy has no immediate need for liquidity in connection
with this investment and does not anticipate that it will need to sell its Securities in the
foreseeable future.

     THE SALE OF THE SECURITIES THAT ARE THE SUBJECT OF THIS AGREEMENT HAS NOT BEEN QUALIFIED WITH
THE COMMISSIONER OF CORPORATIONS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, AND THE ISSUANCE OF THE SECURITIES OR
THE PAYMENT OR RECEIPT OF ANY PART OF THE CONSIDERATION THEREFOR PRIOR TO THE QUALIFICATION IS
UNLAWFUL, UNLESS THE SALE OF SECURITIES IS EXEMPT FROM THE QUALIFICATION BY SECTION 25100, 25102 OR
25105 OF THE CALIFORNIA CORPORATIONS CODE. THE RIGHTS OF ALL PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE
EXPRESSLY CONDITIONED UPON SUCH QUALIFICATION BEING OBTAINED, UNLESS THE SALE IS SO EXEMPT.

above.

WARRANT TO PURCHASE

COMMON STOCK OF

MTI TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION

     This certifies that The Canopy Group, Inc., a Utah
corporation, or assigns (collectively, the “Holder”), for value received, is entitled to purchase,
at the Stock Purchase Price (as defined below), from MTI Technology Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), up to that number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the
Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), equal to 125,000 (the
"Warrant Shares”).

     This Warrant shall be exercisable at any time, or from time to time, from and after the date
hereof through the five-year anniversary of the date hereof (the “Expiration Date”), upon surrender
to the Company at its principal office (or at such other location as the Company may advise the
Holder in writing) of this Warrant properly endorsed with the Form of Subscription attached hereto
duly completed and executed, payment pursuant to Section 2 of this Warrant of the aggregate
Stock Purchase Price for the number of shares for which this Warrant is being exercised determined
in accordance with the provisions hereof, and any documents reasonably requested by the Company to
be executed by the Holder, including without limitation a stock purchase agreement, an investors’
rights agreement, a right of first refusal and co-sale agreement, and a voting agreement, thereby
agreeing to be bound by all obligations and receive all rights thereunder. The Stock Purchase
Price and the number of shares purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4 of this Warrant. For purposes of this Warrant, (a) the term “Stock Purchase
Price” shall mean $1.23.

     1. Exercise; Issuance of Certificates; Acknowledgement. This Warrant is exercisable
at the option of the holder of record hereof, at any time, or from time to time, up to the
Expiration Date for all or any part of the Warrant Shares (but not for a fraction of a share) that
may be purchased hereunder. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased under
this Warrant shall be and are deemed to be issued to the Holder hereof as the record owner of such
shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered,
properly endorsed, the completed, executed Form of Subscription delivered and payment made for such
shares. Certificates for the shares of the Common Stock so purchased, together with any other
securities or property to which the Holder hereof is entitled upon such exercise, shall be
delivered to the Holder hereof by the Company at the Company’s expense within a reasonable time
after the rights represented by this Warrant have been so

1

 

exercised. Each certificate so delivered shall be in such denominations of the Warrant Shares
as may be requested by the Holder hereof and shall be registered in the name of that Holder. In
case of a purchase of less than all the Warrant Shares, the Company shall execute and deliver to
the Holder within a reasonable time an Acknowledgement in the form attached hereto indicating the
number of Warrant Shares which remain subject to this Warrant, if any.

     2. Payment for Shares. The aggregate purchase price for Warrant Shares being
purchased hereunder may be paid either (a) by cash or wire transfer of immediately available funds,
(b) by surrender of a number of Warrant Shares which have a fair market value equal to the
aggregate purchase price of the Warrant Shares being purchased (“Net Issuance”) as determined
herein, or (c) any combination of the foregoing. If the Holder elects the Net Issuance method of
payment, the Company shall issue to Holder upon exercise a number of shares of Warrant Shares
determined in accordance with the following formula:

	 	 	 
	X=
	 	Y(A-B)
	 	 
	 	A

	 	 	 
	where: X =

	 	the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the Holder;
	 
	 	 
	Y =

	 	the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Holder is exercising its purchase rights under this Warrant;
	 
	 	 
	A =

	 	the fair market value of one (1) share of the Warrant Shares on the date of exercise; and
	 
	 	 
	B =

	 	the Stock Purchase Price.

     No fractional shares arising out of the above formula for determining the number of shares to
be issued to the Holder shall be issued, and the Company shall in lieu thereof make payment to the
Holder of cash in the amount of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one (1) share
of the Warrant Shares on the date of exercise. For purposes of the above calculation, the fair
market value of one (1) share of the Warrant Shares shall mean the closing bid price of such Common
Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the date of exercise.

     3. Shares to be Fully Paid; Reservation of Shares. The Company covenants and agrees
that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the rights represented by
this Warrant will, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
and free from all preemptive rights of any stockholder and free of all taxes, liens and charges
with respect to the issue thereof. The Company further covenants and agrees that during the period
within which the rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised, the Company will at all times
have authorized and reserved, for the purpose of issue or transfer upon exercise of the
subscription rights evidenced by this Warrant, a sufficient number of shares of authorized but
unissued shares of Common Stock or other securities and property, when and as required to provide
for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant.

     4. Adjustment of Stock Purchase Price and Number of Shares. The Stock Purchase Price
and the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to

2

 

adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events described in this
Section 4. Upon each adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price, the Holder of this Warrant
shall thereafter be entitled to purchase, at the Stock Purchase Price resulting from such
adjustment, the number of shares obtained by multiplying the Stock Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such adjustment by the number of shares purchasable pursuant hereto
immediately prior to such adjustment, and dividing the product thereof by the Stock Purchase Price
resulting from such adjustment.

     4.1 Subdivisions, Combinations and Dividends. In case the Company shall at any time
subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares or pay a dividend
in Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Stock Purchase Price in
effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend shall be
proportionately reduced, and conversely, in case the outstanding shares of the Common Stock of the
Company shall be combined into a smaller number of shares, the Stock Purchase Price in effect
immediately prior to such combination shall be proportionately increased.

     4.2 Reclassification. If any reclassification of the capital stock of the Company
shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock,
securities, or other assets or property, then, as a condition of such reclassification, lawful and
adequate provisions shall be made whereby the Holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to
purchase and receive (in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable
and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby) such shares of stock, securities
or other assets or property as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number
of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such Common Stock
immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented
hereby. In any reclassification described above, appropriate provision shall be made with respect
to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Warrant to the end that the provisions hereof
(including, without limitation, provisions for adjustments of the Stock Purchase Price and of the
number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant) shall thereafter be
applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets
thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof.

     4.3 Notice of Adjustment. Upon any adjustment of the Stock Purchase Price or any
increase or decrease in the number of shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, the
Company shall give written notice thereof, by first class mail postage prepaid, addressed to the
registered Holder of this Warrant at the address of such Holder as shown on the books of the
Company. The notice shall state the Stock Purchase Price resulting from such adjustment and the
increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise
of this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon
which such calculation is based.

     4.4 Other Notices. If at any time:

     (1) the Company shall declare any cash dividend upon its Common Stock;

3

 

     (2) there shall be any capital reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the
Company, or consolidation or merger of the Company with, or sale of all or substantially all of its
assets to, another corporation or other business entity; or

     (3) there shall be a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the
Company;

then, in any one or more of said cases, the Company shall give, by first class mail, postage
prepaid, addressed to the Holder of this Warrant at the address of such Holder as shown on the
books of the Company, (a) at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date on which the
books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend or for determining
rights to vote in respect of any such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger,
sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, and (b) in the case of any such reorganization,
reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or public
offering, at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place;
provided, however, that the Holder shall make a best efforts attempt to respond to such notice as
early as possible after the receipt thereof. Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing
clause (a) shall also specify, in the case of any such dividend, the date on which the
holders of Common Stock shall be entitled thereto. Any notice given in accordance with the
foregoing clause (b) shall also specify the date on which the holders of Common Stock shall
be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such
reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, dissolution, liquidation,
winding-up, conversion or public offering, as the case may be.

     5. No Dividend Rights. No dividends or interest shall be payable or accrued in
respect of this Warrant or the interest represented hereby or the shares purchasable hereunder
until, and only to the extent that, this Warrant shall have been exercised.

     6. Warrant Transferable. Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state
securities laws and the transfer restrictions set forth in that certain Amendment to Second Waiver
and Consent dated as of the date of this Warrant, by and between the Company and the Holder (the
"Agreement”), under which this Warrant was issued, this Warrant and all rights hereunder may be
transferred, in whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes),
upon the prior written consent of the Company and, thereafter, upon surrender of this Warrant
properly endorsed and in compliance with the provisions of the Agreement. Each taker and holder of
this Warrant, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Warrant, when endorsed
in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Warrant shall have been
so endorsed, may be treated by the Company, at the Company’s option, and by all other persons
dealing with this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled
to exercise the rights represented by this Warrant, or to the transfer hereof on the books of the
Company and notice to the contrary notwithstanding; but until such transfer on such books, the
Company may treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

     7. Lost Warrant. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of
the loss, theft, destruction, or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction, upon receipt of an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or in
the

4

 

case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant, the Company, at
its expense, will make and deliver a new Warrant, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

     8. Modification and Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be amended and the
observance of any term of this Warrant may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance,
and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the
Holder.

     9. Notices. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests,
waivers and other communications made pursuant to this Warrant shall be made in writing.

     10. Titles and Subtitles; Governing Law; Venue. The titles and subtitles used in this
Warrant are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting
this Warrant. This Warrant is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws
of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the
application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware
to the rights and duties of the Company and the Holder. All disputes and controversies arising out
of or in connection with this Warrant shall be resolved exclusively by the state and federal courts
located in Orange County in the State of California, and each of the Company and the Holder hereto
agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of said courts and agrees that venue shall lie exclusively
with such courts.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Warrant to be duly executed by its officers,
thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.
