A certified laboratory serving Marlton, Evesham Township and Burlington County — from a company founded in New Jersey. Hard drives, SSDs, RAID arrays, servers and flash media, recovered by the engineer who answers the phone and never handed to anyone else.

Trusted by

GLOUCESTER CITY, 2013

The Inquirer Came to the Bench and Photographed the Work

In 2013 this laboratory was in Gloucester City, New Jersey, and a reporter and photographer from the Philadelphia Inquirer came out to it. Not a phone interview and not a press release — they stood in the room, watched drives being opened, and photographed the bench. That feature is still live on inquirer.com over a decade later.

That is the difference this page is really about. A newspaper sent someone to verify that the laboratory existed. You can read the result yourself, and you can do the same thing with any address advertised in Marlton — in about thirty seconds, from your phone.

Don Anderson was born in New Jersey. The company was founded in Gibbstown in 2011, moved to Millville in 2012 where the Press of Atlantic City covered it, then to Gloucester City. His degree is from Cumberland County College, and in January 2013 he was qualified and gave expert testimony before the New Jersey Office of Administrative Law in Trenton. Every one of those is verifiable by somebody other than us — which is the entire point.

YOU CAN ACTUALLY COME HERE

An Hour, One Bridge, and a Person to Hand It To

Marlton is close enough to make this simple. Over a bridge and out toward King of Prussia is about an hour, and at the other end you hand your drive to the engineer who opens it and collect it from the same person. Not a counter. Not a case number. Not a courier.  While you’re here, enjoy visiting one of the nations largest designer malls and grab some food.

That’s worth weighing against the alternative, because a local address you can also drive to isn’t the same thing. The question is what happens after you leave it there. If nobody at that address opens drives, the hour you saved is spent on a truck instead — along with the transit risk, the queue you can’t see, and a markup on somebody else’s fee.

If driving doesn’t suit you, ship it — but call first and we’ll tell you how to pack it and what shipping service to use, free, whether or not you send it to us. The most common mistake is cushioning a drive without immobilizing it: wrapped loosely in a padded box it can still move, and a drop the packaging survives can move a head across a platter.

OUR RECOVERY PROCESS

How It Works for Marlton Clients

01

CALL FIRST

Before you drive or ship. We’ll tell you what’s likely wrong, whether it’s worth attempting, and how to pack it if it’s travelling.  Or you can take the safer route and schedule an appointment to drop off in person.

02

Thorough Diagnostic

We identify exactly what failed in our own certified lab. No third-party queue and no guessing — and we call you with the answer along with the probability of success moving forward with the attempt.

03

Transparent Quote

We will call you within 24 hours, or faster if expedited, with a firm quote before any work starts. No charge beyond the diagnostic if we can’t recover it.

04

Recovery Performed

We reverse engineer and repair the drive itself — failed heads, seized motors, corrupted firmware — until it can be read again and safely extracted onto a good drive – inside a clean room independently certified to ISO Class 4.

05

Verify & Return

Review the recovered file list before you pay. In most cases we can separate any damaged file for you, so you know exactly what you are paying for. Collect at our King of Prussia office, or we return it to you securely while keeping a copy for 2 weeks.

NO BALLOONED QUOTES

WHAT WE CHARGE

$106

Diagnostic · Per Drive · Tax Included

Applied toward a successful recovery. Tells you what failed, odds of success – if it’s worth the attempt, and what it will cost, before you commit to anything.

$400+

Typical Single-Drive Recovery

Depends on whether the failure is logical, electronic or mechanical. Clean room work with donor parts sits higher. You get a phone call with a firm quote first.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Marlton Data Recovery FAQ

Check for yourself before you hand a drive to anyone. Put the address from any listing into Street View, then search that street address on its own and see what else comes back. A suite letter or in a small commercial building is worth a second look — laboratories need power, filtration and space, and they are rarely a unit behind an unmarked door. And data recovery that a computer shop may offer isn’t laboratory data recovery required for working with failed drives. It’s about listings for laboratories that don’t exist at the address on the listing.

Don Anderson was born in New Jersey, and Tri-State Data Recovery was founded in Gibbstown in 2011. The lab moved to Millville in 2012, where the Press of Atlantic City covered it, and to Gloucester City in 2013 — where a Philadelphia Inquirer reporter and photographer came to the bench and put the work in the paper. That article is still live over a decade later. His degree is from Cumberland County College, and in January 2013 he was qualified and gave expert testimony before the New Jersey Office of Administrative Law in Trenton. The laboratory has been in Pennsylvania since 2014 where he began travelling overseas for advanced training courses, but New Jersey is where this business was built and thousands of New Jersey drives have crossed this bench since 2011.

Yes, and plenty of Burlington County clients do. Give us a call at (800)798-0727 to schedule your appointment — client drop-off and pickup are at our corporate office, 630 Freedom Business Center Drive, Floor 3, King of Prussia — about an hour from Marlton, with parking. You hand the drive to the engineer who will do the work and collect it from the same person. If shipping suits you better, call first and we’ll tell you how to pack it properly, free, whether or not you send it to us. The recovery laboratory itself is a secured Montgomery County facility we don’t open to visitors, because we handle medical records and legal evidence and restricted access is part of the chain of custody.

Unplug it and stop. When a drive is clicking or beeping after a drop it usually means the heads can’t read the servo data written on the platter — often a head failure rather than platter damage, and frequently recoverable, but only if the drive stops. Every additional power cycle risks the heads contacting the recording surface, and when that happens magnetic material comes off the platter and doesn’t come back. Don’t put it in the freezer, don’t run recovery software over it, and don’t let anyone open it outside a certified clean room.

Power it down and stop. Don’t rebuild the array, don’t initialize anything, and don’t let anyone swap a drive in to see what happens. A rebuild forces every remaining drive to work harder than it has in years, and if a second drive is already degraded — common, because drives bought together tend to fail together — the rebuild is what destroys the array. Keep the drives in the same order and bring us all the originals labeled in order, or the entire server.  We sign NDAs as requested and execute Business Associate Agreements where health data is involved.

Every case starts with a $106 diagnostic per drive, tax included, applied toward a successful recovery. You receive a phone call with a firm quote before any work begins, and there’s no charge beyond the diagnostic if the data can’t be recovered. Most single-drive physical recoveries fall in the $400 and up range depending on whether the failure is logical, electronic or mechanical. Active military, veterans and students receive a permanent 20% discount with valid ID.
