Item 1.
Security and Issuer
 
 
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) relates to  relates to the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of GSI Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which has its principal executive offices at 1213 Elko Drive, Sunnyvale, California 94089.  This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the information contained in items 1, 3, 5 and 6 of the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on July 7, 2011 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”).  All capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.  Except as amended by this Amendment No. 1, all information contained in the Schedule 13D is, after reasonable inquiry and to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge and belief, true, complete and correct as of the date of this Amendment No. 1.
 
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
 
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
 
The total purchase price for the 1,290,708 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Discovery Group and Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy as of October 30, 2011 was approximately $9,552,873.  The source of such funds was the assets of two private investment partnerships (collectively, the “Partnerships”) over which Discovery Group exercises discretionary investment management authority, and proceeds of margin loans under margin loan facilities maintained in the ordinary course of business by the Partnerships with a broker on customary terms and conditions.  The Partnerships are the legal owner of all of the Common Stock beneficially owned by Discovery Group and Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
 
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:
 
The information concerning percentages of ownership set forth below is based on 28,870,737 shares of Common Stock reported outstanding as of July 31, 2011 in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2011.
 
Discovery Group beneficially owns 1,290,708 shares of Common Stock as of October 30, 2011, which represents 4.5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
 
Mr. Donoghue beneficially owns 1,290,708 shares of Common Stock as of October 30, 2011, which represents 4.5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
 
Mr. Murphy beneficially owns 1,290,708 shares of Common Stock as of October 30, 2011, which represents 4.5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
 
Discovery Group is the sole general partner of one of the Partnerships and has sole discretionary investment authority with respect to the other Partnership’s investment in the Common Stock.  Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy are the sole managing members of Discovery Group.  As a consequence, Discovery Group and Messrs. Donoghue and Murphy may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of all of the shares of Common Stock owned by both of the Partnerships.
 
 
The transactions in Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days are set out in Exhibit 1 hereto.
 
Each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock on October 27, 2011.
