Bring the Drive In.
No appointment. Check in at the kiosk.Walk in during shop hours and check in on our kiosk. The screen explains how data recovery works in large, easy-to-read text, confirms your turnaround time, and asks you to tick a box and sign on screen. Tell us which files matter most (a law office's case folders, a researcher's library notes, photos from the Morristown Green, a restaurant's payroll spreadsheet) so we look for those first.
We work on internal hard drives and SSDs, external USB drives, flash drives, SD and camera cards, desktops and laptops, and NAS or RAID boxes. We do not recover data from phones.

$75 to Find Out What's Recoverable.
Standard diagnostic: 2 to 3 days.The diagnostic tells us why the files disappeared (a failing drive, a deleted folder, a corrupted partition, a dead computer around a healthy drive) and how much of your data can realistically come back. You get an honest answer, not a sales pitch.
Your drive stays on our bench in Somerville the whole time. We don't box it up for a lab in another state, so you're never waiting on a shipping label to find out what happened to your files.

Avoid the Fake Data Recovery Listings
Search data recovery near Morristown and you will see listings that are really intake counters. They take your drive, box it, and ship it off to a lab in another state. Your files are safer staying in New Jersey and in the hands of the person doing the work.
Your drive goes in a box
- The local listing only collects the drive, then ships it to a lab you've never seen, often in another state.
- A failing drive gets bounced around in a delivery truck, and a package can be delayed, damaged, or lost.
- Your family photos or client files pass through strangers' hands and a shipping depot.
- You wait on transit both ways before anyone even looks at it, and the person at the counter can't answer your questions.
Your drive stays in Somerville
- All recovery work is done on-site, on our own bench at 75 N Bridge St. Your drive never leaves the building.
- You hand it to the person who actually does the work, and you can call the shop directly at 908-428-9558.
- Standard diagnostic in 2 to 3 days with no shipping time, and rush service is available.
- If your drive needs something beyond what we do in-house, we tell you plainly and can give you the contact for a recovery partner. The choice stays yours.
Quick test: before you hand over a drive anywhere, ask "Will my drive be recovered here, in this building?" If the answer involves shipping, you're looking at a drop-off point, not a lab.
Data Recovery for Morristown's Historic Town Center and County Seat
Morristown, the county seat of Morris County, has been called the military capital of the American Revolution, and Washington made his headquarters at the Ford Mansion in 1779 and 1780. The town was incorporated in 1865 and counts roughly 20,200 residents. It is also where Morse and Vail first publicly demonstrated the telegraph in 1838, so moving information has deep roots here.
County seat professionals
With the Morris County Courthouse on Washington Street, Morristown is full of offices that live on their files. A failed laptop drive can hold months of work. We test it in Somerville and text you the options.
Researchers and readers
The Morristown and Morris Township Public Library traces back to 1792, and local history research is a serious pastime here. Scans and notes often sit on a single flash drive. We recover flash drives on-site.
Homes around the Green
From Speedwell Avenue to South Street, family computers carry years of photos and paperwork. When one stops working, shut it down. Bring the whole computer and we will handle the drive.

Morristown Data Recovery FAQ
How much is the data recovery diagnostic?
$75. It covers checking the drive, finding out why the files are missing, and telling you what can be recovered. If you approve the recovery, the $75 is credited toward the price.
When is the $75 refunded?
When you hand us the drive directly (a bare drive, external drive, USB flash drive or SD card) and we can't recover your data, the diagnostic is refunded. If the drive has to be removed from a laptop or desktop, that removal is labor, so the diagnostic isn't refunded even if recovery isn't possible.
How long does it take?
The standard diagnostic takes 2 to 3 days. We also offer rush service, and we'll go over it with you in person at drop-off.
How far is your shop from Morristown?
From Ford Mansion, Washington's Headquarters at Morristown National Historical Park it's about 22.3 miles and 35 minutes, mostly on I-287 South. The shop is at 75 N Bridge St, Somerville, with a private parking lot. Look for the blue Dave's Computers arrow sign at the driveway.
Can you recover data from a NAS or RAID box from a Morristown office?
Yes, NAS and RAID recovery is part of what we do, along with desktops, laptops and individual drives. It starts with a $75 diagnostic in our Somerville shop, and nothing is shipped out of state.
Do you ship my drive to another lab?
No. All recovery work is done on-site at our Somerville shop, and your drive never goes in the mail. If a drive needs work beyond what we do in-house, we'll tell you and can give you the contact for a recovery partner, so you decide what happens next.
