Reclaim Your Data. Trust the Experts.

When your data is irreplaceable, the last thing you need is a computer repair shop using amateur recovery techniques from YouTube — or a big-box retailer that simply ships your drive across the country to a third-party lab, with costs you never saw coming.

At Tri-State Data Recovery, we do things differently. Our local, secure laboratory is purpose-built for professional data recovery — not bolted onto a general repair service as an afterthought. We perform the work ourselves, on-site, with certified tools and a proven methodology that sets the standard for the industry.

⚠️ Why it matters who handles your drive:

Consumer repair shops often attempt DIY recovery techniques and rely on sloppy practice found in instructional videos that can permanently overwrite or damage the very data you’re trying to save. Because this industry is unregulated, anyone can advertise the service and practice data recovery on your precious drive, permanently destroying it.
Big-box retailers and national chains routinely outsource your drive to out-of-state facilities, inflating costs and putting your sensitive information in unknown hands
Mishandling drives containing personal, financial, or medical data can potentially constitute a HIPAA violation — exposing you to real legal and privacy risk

We built this facility because patients, businesses, and individuals deserve better. Your drive never leaves our hands, your data stays local and protected, and you’ll always know exactly what’s being done and what it costs.

Ready to recover what matters most? Bring your drive to our secure lab and speak with a recovery specialist — or ask about our referral program and learn how you can connect others with trustworthy, local data recovery without compromise.

Let’s Begin

Professional In-Lab Data Recovery Services Offered

EXTERNAL USB DRIVE

Is your portable drive beeping or clicking? Have you dropped your portable Western Digital passport drive or banged your Seagate one touch drive? As technology advances, reliability for these type of hard drives has become a major concern. We can help at our advanced laboratory in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

RAID/SERVER/NAS

Tri-State Data Recovery has been trusted by numerous fortune 500 companies right down to your favorite sports teams and professional photographers. We recover failed RAID servers, DROBO systems, VMs, and all other RAID and NAS configurations — entirely in our own laboratory.

SSD/NVMe

While SSD is designed for speed and performance, it isn’t engineered for longevity and constantly degrades with use. Tri-State Data Recovery uses the most advanced techniques with European technology to assess firmware issues, degraded NAND chips and even provide chip off data recovery in certain cases. We offer best-in-class data recovery services on all SSD and NVMe drives in our advanced laboratory in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Apple iMac – MacBook

Whether you’re dealing with a MacBook air SSD or a iMac Fusion drive we have extensive experience working with Apples proprietary file systems and hardware. Don’t waste time dealing with the geniuses who will gladly advise you to ship your sensitive drive across the country. We offer best in class data recovery services on Mac hard drives and solid state drives in our advanced laboratory in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

HARD DISK DRIVE DATA RECOVERY

With over 20 years’ experience working with spinning hard disk drives along with state-of-the-art equipment and world-class training, we can assess the failure accurately and provide a fair quote moving forward with the recovery attempt in a timely fashion at our advanced laboratory in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

USB FLASH DRIVE/SD CARD/SURFACE PRO

We specialize in micro soldering techniques which we incorporate in repairing bent or damaged usb flash drives. If the board cannot be repaired or isn’t damaged, then more advanced methods like removing and decoding the NAND chips or adjusting the reading current can usually be performed for recovering the data from failing usb flash drives or SD CARDS.

How Much Does Professional Laboratory Data Recovery Cost?

The cost of data recovery can vary greatly depending on the type/capacity of the drive and the extent of damage. In order for us to provide you with an accurate quote we must first perform an extensive diagnostic on the failed media drive in our advanced laboratory outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We charge a nominal fee of $106 (inc. tax) to properly assess your failed media device which is applied toward your successful data recovery. Our engineer can then determine the level of data recovery and the time involved in the recovery attempt, providing you with a firm quote which will include the cost of parts required to repair the drive. At Tri-State Data Recovery there are no hidden fees and you could expect costs between $400 to $2,500 for a single drive. A new hard drive to extract the recovered data onto can be supplied from you or you’ll have the choice to purchase a new drive from us. *Advanced cases that would fall out of this category would be discussed before any commitment.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We found ourselves in a real difficult situation when one of our hard drives failed. The drive and the data were very old and rarely used, but the data is critical for support of our legacy equipment. Don was very responsive and professional and understood the urgency of our need to recover the data. I dropped the drive off and on the same day, Don was able to perform his diagnostics and got back to me with some encouraging news. He needed to order parts and felt there was a good chance he could recover our data, but it would take about a week. Today, 1 week later, I received a call with the news that he was able to recover all but one file on the drive. We are very appreciative and highly recommend Tri-State Data Recovery Services. ”

Suzy Althouse BuehlerCustomer Testimonial - Orion Systems, Inc.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Don helped me recover my external hard drive that was damaged by my unruly pets. Don understood the urgency of the data I needed from the hard drive and the whole process was very quick. He also made recommendations for a much better backup system that provides more data security without increasing the workload. The data that I thought was gone is now not only recovered but backed up multiple times to make sure the same thing doesn’t happen again. I’m grateful for Don’s work and knowledge and cannot recommend Tri-State Data Recovery enough! ”

Minh CaoCustomer Testimonial - Philadelphia, PA

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Tri-State Data is the best! I had thought I was doomed when my external hard drive failed during finals week of my final semester of college. I ran around the city to these so-called data recovery labs that all seemed to only ship my hard drive off far away and asking for outrageous prices and time minimums of 2 weeks. Tri-State Data not only fixed my hard drive in a miraculous about 24 hours but did in for about half the cost of the other companies. I was able to see the actual on-site lab where it was worked on and Don talked me through the different steps in diagnosing the problem and extracting as many uncorrupted files as possible (99% of my files were saved!). Honestly, if they did not save my hard drive, I don’t know if I would have been able to graduate that semester. I 100% recommend Tri-State Data Recovery.”

Cora ButlerCustomer Testimonial - Facebook

“I recently suffered a complete failure of my hard drive. After another company was unable to help, Tri-State recovered all of my data. Owner Don Anderson did a difficult job with consummate professionalism and obvious skill. Highly recommended.”

Andrew Sidamon-EristoffCustomer Testimonial - Facebook

“Straightforward, knowledgeable, and efficient. I had a quick estimate and the vast majority of my data recovered. Highly recommended.”

Steve A. WigginsCustomer Testimonial - Facebook

“Second time working with Don / Tri-State Data Recovery and again, a pleasure. Very professional, detail oriented and sensitive to my timing too. Got full data recovery for me and made process painless. A+”

Andy Stolarek CEO - Furtographs Pet Portraiture

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“My hard drive failed and of course I did not back this particular drive up this time. I had a lot of important files and none of my computers would read the drive at all. I did some research and Tri-State had some of the best reviews. Definitely worth the ride to drop off the drive in person. Don was professional and really helpful. Going in, I knew it would be pricey but it was worth every penny because he was able to recover 100% of the files on my drive. Don really saved my bacon! If this happens to you, then Tri-State should be the first call you make! ”

Damon DarellCustomer Testimonial - Facebook

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Tri-State is an extremely professional and yet very personal operation. I really felt my life that was stored on my crashed disk was lost forever. Don was able to recover 99+% of that data. He understood how important that data was to me. From my many years of experience as an Electronic Engineer I can tell you that Tri-State has first rate labs and equipment. They also take great pains to safeguard your data. Don also provided great recommendations for future backup systems so that I never have to use his services again. You get one shot at getting your data back. Make it count and go to the place with the best chance of success – Tri-State.“

Michael JunodCustomer Testimonial - Facebook

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Brought to the them a completely failed 10TB drive which had rendered all of my family photos, media and business information inaccessible. The drive was formatted as a Raid 0 to increase the likelihood of the inability to recover. 4 weeks later I have all of my info restored. Along the way the team was responsive to every inquiry or message, even over the weekends. The cost of which was 40% lower than Corporate companies.”

Don went above and beyond throughout the entire process. Not only was he incredibly thorough and thoughtful, but when I underestimated the storage I needed, he transferred everything to a larger drive at no additional cost, even though it took him twice as long.

He is knowledgeable, patient, positive, and genuinely cares about his clients. After working with him, it’s easy to understand why he has so many five-star reviews.

If you need data recovery or file transfers, I highly recommend contacting Don. Thank you again, Don!

I contacted Tri-State Data after my daughter knocked my laptop on the ground and destroyed an attached USB drive. I initially called Staples, who told me that there was a high probability that they would send it to another location to assess the damage and get it fixed. I didn’t like the idea of my important files being sent somewhere that I didn’t know.

My husband found Tri-State Data when looking for a reputable company in the area. Don responded to my call quickly. He worked with me to drop my USB off the next day. I appreciate that he gave me a timeframe for when he could assess the damage and call me back. He did exactly what he said he would. I dropped my USB off on a Thursday and had the recovered data by Tuesday. Don was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about data recovery.

I highly recommend Tri-State Data to anyone needing to recover their data. It’s scary to have lost documents and nice to know that there are people who can help. Thanks, Don!

Don did an incredible job recovering every piece of data on what I thought was a broken hard drive. The service is not cheap, but the information I thought I'd lost was incredibly important. So the price was absolutely worth the piece of mind that comes from having those materials back. Highly recommend!

I was in a panic after my hard drive became inaccessible and I feared that I had lost decades of pictures into the abyss. After doing some research and finding Don and Tri-State he put my mind at ease and was able to recover everything. I can't recommend him enough, very down to earth and easy to understand the intricacies of the process. I'd give 100 stars if possible!

Don from Tri-State Data Recovery did a superb job in the clean room recovering data from my WD EasyStore 5TB usb drive. I had stupidly left it attached to my desktop when trying to install additional RAM. It fell to the floor. What's worse, I even dropped it a 2nd time! When I plugged it in, the system wouldn't even recognize it... I brought the drive to Geek Squad with high hopes. Alas, they said there was nothing that could be done, it needed recovery done in a clean room. I was very lucky! Don was able to recover well over 95% of my data. And it's running perfectly now (a month later). Thank you Don so much!!!

Don at Tri State Data Recovery is a pleasure to deal with. He got some data recovery done for me within a few days. I had gotten a computer a few years ago at a big electronics store (BestBuy), and the SSD failed, and that store's G-Squad couldn't get the data off the hard drive. I called Tri State Data Recovery, and I was able to get an appointment soon, and met with Don, who is a wealth of information. He is friendly and helpful, and right away gives you a feeling that you've gone to the right place. He contacted me later that day and said he was fairly sure he could recover most or all of the data, and he gave me a timeframe of a few days, and then exactly on the day he said it would be ready, he contacted me again and said that he got it all done successfully, and at the promised price. It was top notch customer service, and I cannot imagine any better service. I am recommending to the company that I work for, that if we need data recovery services, that Don at Tri State Data Recovery should be enlisted for that. If you ever have the need for Data Recovery services, you should call Don at Tri State Data Recovery. He is extremely knowledgeable, and he is more than willing to teach you about how to avoid the problems that led you to his services, and to generally educate you about hard drives, and other electronic storage devices, plus its likely that he'll be able to assist in recovering data for you, although he notes that there are some times when data cannot be recovered. But he can guide you on what devices to buy (or avoid buying), and about backing-up data, so that you'll never need his services. Overall, my experience with Tri State Data Recovery could not have been better. I wish every business were this good.

Don did an awesome job in recovering the data from my hard drive that had failed with little warning. I feared that much of the stuff was lost forever, but thanks to Don's efforts about 99.9% of it was able to be recovered. What a relief! I would highly recommend Tri-State Data Recovery Services for anybody who finds themselves in a similar situation.

Don does the great job. Most likely the best data recovery service in the country. They won't ship your hard drive out of state or even out of the country, they do all the work on site. There are a lot of computer stores offering this service, but all they do is outsource it. Tri-State saves you money y doing everything in house. Very highly recommended.

Don was great! He managed to recover all my data from a hard drive that was corrupted and kept shutting down. The job was done quickly and the results were well worth the cost, saving me a TON of time and effort to reconstruct the information. He also provided guidance on backup systems and utilities to help avoid a similar incident in the future. Highly recommend!!

What a lifesaver! Don was extremely helpful, honest, and thorough in helping me recover really important data on a damaged external hard drive. He was available and communicated with me every step of the way and helped me get everything back! I am so impressed and would highly recommend this service for your most challenging data recovery needs.

HIGHLY Recommend Tri-State Data Recovery for any data loss. This company is the real deal - there are many companies that pose as recovery specialists but they will send your device to a 3rd party "recovery business" and will scam you for your money and not recover your data. Not the case with Tri-State! They were able to recover 98% of my data which has me speechless because I was convinced I would never see my files again. Don informs you of each step in the process making it smooth and easy. Couldn't be more grateful!

Don helped us recover a drive that went haywire and could have cost us an incredible loss to production. Thankfully, Don was able to quickly recover everything. He's fast, informative throughout the process, and gave us great information to avoid issues like this in the future. If you've experienced a loss of data, call Tri-State Data Recovery Services first!

what an amazing experience I had at Tri State Data. I highly recommend using them. I had my main server for my company go down and my back up failed and not only did Don get me right in because it was an emergency, but he did it fast and didn't take advantage of me on price when everyone else I called clearly was. They were fast and got 100% recovery which from what I hear isn't easy to do. They saved me months of data entry Do yourself a favor and call them you will not regret it!

Don was a life saver with being able to save my files. I had a passport external drive and it wasn't loading to my Mac or any other devices. I asked around and was directed to Don. I was super happy that he was local and I could drive to his office. I really didn't want to mail my drive somewhere. I wanted to be able to have a conversation and be able to trust the person with my files. Don is very knowledgeable, kind and I trust him. I spoke with him on the phone and then delivered my drive later that day. He was able to take a look at it and was able to save about 95% of my files. WONDERFUL! The drive had business files, personal files and photos on it. He did such a wonderful job and was quick. I was able to pickup the recovered files within the week. Thank You Don! I really appreciate it! :)
