Is my data recoverable?
Usually the answer is yes. Bring the drive, phone or memory card to our Marlboro shop and we will tell you honestly what can be saved — before you spend a dollar.
Free evaluation. You only pay if we recover your data.We image the drive read-only, tell you what's recoverable and what it costs, and you decide from there — no charge for the attempt on a standard drive.
What we recover
- Failed or clicking internal hard drives (desktop and laptop)
- SSDs and NVMe drives that dropped offline or won't mount
- USB flash drives and external drives that aren't recognized
- SD / microSD and camera cards with corrupted or deleted photos
- Accidental deletion, quick-formatted volumes and corrupted partitions
- Computers that won't boot but whose drive is otherwise healthy
How the free evaluation works
- Drop it off at 2 Buck Lane, Suite 8, Marlboro — or ship it to us.
- We image the drive read-only so nothing gets worse, then scan for recoverable data.
- You get a straight answer — what's recoverable, the price, and the turnaround — within a day or two for most drives.
- You decide. Approve the quote and we recover your files to a fresh drive you keep. Decline and you owe nothing for standard drives.
When a clean room is needed
Severe physical damage — head crashes, seized motors, fire or flood — needs a clean-room lab. We coordinate that with a trusted partner and give you their quote up front. No clean-room work ever starts without your written approval.
Not a hardware failure? If you just need files moved to a new machine, see data backup & transfer. Liquid spill? Go straight toliquid damage repair — time matters.

Frequently asked questions
Is my data recoverable?
Often, yes. Accidental deletion, a corrupted file system, a dead controller board or a laptop that will not boot are usually recoverable. Physical drive damage and failed SSD chips are harder. We tell you what is realistic after a free evaluation in our Marlboro shop.
How much does data recovery cost in Marlboro, NJ?
Most logical recoveries run $100 to $225 depending on drive size and how much rebuilding is needed. The evaluation is free and you only pay if we actually recover your files. Severe physical failures needing a clean-room partner are quoted separately before any work starts.
Do you charge if you cannot recover my files?
No. If we cannot recover usable data from a standard drive, you owe nothing for our attempt. You would only pay in advance for an outside clean-room service, and only after you approve that quote in writing.
Should I keep using the drive while I decide?
Stop using it now. Every power-on and write can overwrite recoverable data or worsen a failing drive. Shut the device down, bring it to 2 Buck Lane in Marlboro, and let us image it first.
