Jennifer Baxa

Wow! You saved 10 years of my kids photos from birth to school. I was devastated. After calling Western Digital support they told me to give you a call. I'm glad I did. Awesome service.

What can I say about Payam. Excellent, fantastic, specialized in their field. These are few that come to mind. This is the second time I have called upon their services and once again they have proved why they are a leading data recovery business. They have knowledge and expertise to explain why the hard drive had failed and the recovery of the lost files is second to none. Once again thank you for your work. I think this time I will take your advice and do a backup just in case. Thanks Keith.

I recover data myself but NOWHERE to the that this company does. These people know exactly what they're doing. Hard drive failed when accidentally knocked it off table. Drive was cycle clicking and trying to be read. Went onto the official seagate website for a data recovery service. The ONLY Company it found as the official data recovery experts was payam. Payam have just recovered 100% of my data with the exact same folder/file structure with everything as the way it was. How they did it is beyond me but fascinates me and would love to learn what these guys do. Thanks so much again and will recommend any customers drive I would be unable to fix myself.

The service I received from Payam Data Recovery was excellent. We received a quote via email within 24 hours and the repair work was quick and they managed to get all files back. Very impressed!

Matthew Cooley

When a SSD Hard Drive fails it is always a concern about whether data will be recoverable or not - luckily Payam were able to get all of our required files back off the drive, and at a very good price. Communication along the way was spot on also, would definitely recommend them!

Tony Peters

Our internal IT team could not recover the data from my hard drive and mentioned you guys as someone who might be able to help out.

You did a great job and on time.

Sam Joseph

My wife's boss recommended Payam to me when our small business server crashed. We lost 5 years of invoices and accounting info without any backup. I called and Wes was very helpful on the phone and when i dropped it off in the city i spoke with Gray. Everyone was really helpful and told me the costs upfront. I got everything back for less than i expected in a week. Great service from a company i hope i will never need to use again, i am backing up religiously now.

I was told: “External hard drive devices can easily get corrupted – especially, if the hard drive is not ejected correctly.”– but, in error, I did this and sure enough my external drive device “DIED”!!!  I went to Apple Store where I purchased the device.

They said:  “Sorry, bad luck; the data is corrupted; nothing can be done about it.”  I was desperate. I investigated Sydney Seagate Service Centres and I tracked down Payam Data Recovery at North Sydney. I took my device there and within a couple of weeks and after paying a very reasonable cost, all my data had been recovered. Wow!!  They achieved the impossible and at every step of the way, they were enormously understanding of my distress & enormously helpful in getting back to being fully operational. Thank You to all at Payam!

Best data recovery service ever!! Don’t risk it to others, they’re overpriced and sucks! I had a hard disk broken, dead by shock, and I took it to them. They gave me a quote in 24 hrs, and started the job. It was a very hard thing to recover, as it had severe damage. It took longer than expected, however, they recovered my precious, priceless data! Payam data made my (not day), life! I even wanted to pay more than the cost! Don’t risk on other companies, best experience ever. I’ve recommend this to everyone. They can do the impossible!!! Friendly service, and always keep me update of the status. Highly recommend it. If you have loss data, don’t risk other, take it to the pros, Payam Data.

Grahame

I was overseas and away from my backup when the hard disk failed. The local 'experts' were unable to restore any data at all - and wasted much time - and had no idea what they were doing. On returning home, Payam was able to recover all of the data for me, and provided prompt and efficient service while doing so, at the stated price without any mucking around.

Amy Milburn

Super happy with the experience I've had with Payam data recovery. After years of unrealistic quotes and many people telling me my data could not be recovered I finally have my data back! I would highly recommend Payam to all my family and friends!

Grant Molik

The work you did was amazing and I can’t thank you enough, If it wasn’t for you guys I wouldn’t have valuable photos. Appreciate it a lot.

Kathleen M.

Losing my lecture notes when the USB broke wasn't a pleasant experience. Finding Payam and knowing that they could recover all my data was a pleasant and satisfying experience. Thank you!

Cayleigh Abel

I absolutely loved dealing with everyone at Payam the process was super-efficient and professional and all my data was recovered! My computer was drenched in water and I thought I would have had to pay a fortune to retrieve everything but i was given a reasonable price and quick recovery time. Thank you so much again, really saved me!!

Priscilla Barkas

Excellent service! Wes in Adelaide saved my whole hard drive! The recovery was quick and 100% of my data was saved to a new hard drive 🙂.

Nick Ni

Had a WD mybooklive that stopped working after 3 years. Had about 700GB of data on it. Payam informed me initially that the disk was full of bad sectors and they proceeded to recover all the files. Great job.

Brenden

Sent them my thumb drive and got it back with all data recovered within a week. Keith was brilliant and took the time to go through what was recovered prior to me paying.

I had actually sent my thumb drive to Technetics Data Recovery a month earlier. Got some crap story about it being difficult to recover and wanted to charge me in excess of $1500 to recover 10 Power Points.

Payam were quicker, more engaged and a 1/4 of the price.

Joseph Vitelli

Merlin the magician would be impressed Payam’s feat of data recovery. After being told by our IT staff to trash the hard disk as recovery would not be possible, Payam excepted the challenge and delivered 100% of my data back to usable. I went from feeling that my world had ended to jubilation when I strolled through all me files- thank you so much!

Josh Dalt

Highly recommend Payam Data Recovery.

Craig was professional and extremely helpful, all of my data was recovered and I was kept informed throughout the whole process.

Don't think twice if you have a dead drive with lost information, Craig and his team will have it restored with little fuss and at a reasonable price.

Tania Pickering

“I was really happy. I will recommend you guys!

Phil Elliott

Quick, efficient kept me well informed at every stage. Great service.

Jessica Hoffman

Having had a near panic attack when my Lacie hard drive decided to crash and burn with unknown data on it. I was very happy when guys at Payam Data Recovery said "No worries" and recovered it all. Fantastic service, highly recommended!

Eric Fariss

After visiting an apple store and learning my Macbook Pro had bad sectors I researched data recovery and tried Payam. They have managed to recover every file I needed, Including more than 2000 priceless photographs. I highly recommend them.

After a major hard drive crash, windows wouldn't recognise the drive at all. Of course I was between making back ups at the time. Payam managed to recover all of the data on the drive, well over 300GB worth! I haven't yet found a corrupted file that they recovered. Price was very reasonable, speed was also good. Payam also kept me up to date and shipped the old drive and the recovered data to me via overnight courier. Couldn't be happier, I hope I dont need to use data recovery again, but if I do I would not hesitate to use Payam again.

Fred V.

Payam data recovery are excellent. My USB just stopped working for no reason at all. I sent it to the Laptop manand several other companies, however, none of them could help me get my data off it. I googled data recovery and Payam data recovery is the first web page came up. I liked what I seen and so I sent my USB away and was contacted with great news. payam data recovery recovered all of my files off my usb. The service was excellent. I was updated very regularly, they were quick and super friendly.You won't be disappointed with Payam.

Steve G

The guys at Payam know their stuff. They were able to recover crucial data from a damaged usb drive in less than 4 hours

Ook Tong

Because of this company, I was able to retrieve priceless videos & photos from my iPhone 5S, which was damaged from salt water contact. I took it to them several months after the water incident and they were still able to recover everything. Their service was top notch and I'd highly recommend their service!

Sam Diep

I am happy to say that Gray Anderson, the person I dealt with from start to finish, was friendly and professional throughout the process. I was kept informed every step of the way. All the data was recovered promptly and without fuss. I would recommend Payam data recovery service to anyone who have hard-drive problem.

Verity Coates

I will shout it from the roof tops as to how happy I was with my experience with you. I had lost data from two USB’s which had graduation photos, overseas trips and my father in law who has since passed away.

I had been to three other companies who did not want to know me but fortunately one put me onto you. Your staff was very professional friendly and extremely helpful. The great news is that all photos and videos were retrieved to my absolute delight. Thank you ever so much. I have already sung your praises to my friends.

Mark Whitford

My lacie external hard disk drive crashed for no explicable reason after 2 years of constant use. Having an old laptop, i was using the lacie as primary data storage space. So it had all the photos of my two year old from birth to present. i backed it up 6 months ago to a new WD external drive, but 6 months is a lot of photos. I googled lacie drive data retrieval and saw Payam was in brisbane. The cost range was $250 to $2500 so i was terrified that my problem might turn out to be a tough one. i called the guys on monday and took it in. I didn't have to pay anything up front. By thursday they gave me the news that yes full data retrieval was likely. The cost was only going to be $250 for their regular service!!! i was wrapped. They said regular meant that they would get to it when they could so it could be a couple of weeks (which didn't worry me). the guys turned it around in a couple of days and i dropped in a new HDD for them to load it up and away i went. 1 very happy customer.

Brad Corey

My hard drive suddenly stopped working. Visited several recovery companies and finally found Payam. Payam did a great job and recovered all my data. They also gave me a very reasonable price. Thank Payam!

Troy

You get told and told everyday you should back up! yeah yeah my computers fine it wont happen to me. WRONG!!!! 6 years of family photos videos 1000's mp3, 100's emails, word docs etc all gone. The guys at Payam were amazingly confident they could get most of it back and they did and then some. Thank You Payam

Chris Finch

I am eternally grateful that Payam were able to restore almost all that was lost but especially all my family photos from years back, that was priceless.

Kelly Andrusko

Just want to say thank you for retrieving my data from a very broken USB stick. It had a lot of important information which I would have been lost without. The whole process was easy and I really appreciated all your help. I will definitely let others know about the service. Thank you again

Trudi Tomlinson

Very happy with service.

Emjay P.

My experience with Payam Data Recovery was Fantastic!!!! I dropped my iphone a few weeks ago and all data was gone. Brought iphone to Payam and got a call after a few hours saying it's ready to be picked up. I was very happy!

Joseph Anthony

I love your work, it was fantastic service, and should you ever require it I will recommend you to the Pope for sainthood – you have performed miracles and resurrected my hard drive. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone with a data recovery problem.

Joel P

Fantastic service. Craig was very helpful and prompt. Kept you updated along the way. Would highly recommend their services.

Alison Wong

AMAZING. I was devastated after I was told by other phone shop/s that data was irrecoverable on my phone (3 years of un-backed up memories right there). I wasn't in a rush (2-3 week expected) but I got a call back from Lachlan in 2 days saying it was all restored successfully. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You guys are amazing

Amy Hobson

We had a USB that died most unmercifully upon us. I contacted Craig at the Melbourne office who helped us get everything back. Thanks Craig for the good, honest service. Highly recommended!

Predecessor firm supplied my drive; on data loss they came up in a search online and responded to the enquiry with a competitive price. Supplied replacement drive and recovered data to it.

Anthony A Malelis

I was blown away with the service and could not be happier. I would recommend to anyone!

Trevor Hewitt

My experience with the Payam was extremely satisfying. The service provided by the staff at Payam from my initial email enquiry and throughout the process was highly professional and exceeded my expectations of service. Staff responded promptly to emails and returning phone calls,regularly provided feedback regarding the progress of my data recovery and bent over backwards to assist me when I collected my recovered data and answered all my questions in layman's terms. Thank you to all.

When my 400GB Western Digital external hard drive died, I almost died with it. I had LOTS of photo's (including irreplaceable photos from when my daughter was born (6 years ago) to now & holiday photo's, etc..), music, movies, financial and personal documents, you name it it was on there, and I didn't have copies of them anywhere else. I mean who backs up their back up?! I googled data recovery, and came across a number of companies that promised to try and recover my data - for an exorbitant amount (from $1500 up to around the $3000 mark). Then I saw Payam's ad. (thank god!) They were central to where I was, and when I called them they were extremely helpful and the price was A LOT cheaper than the other quotes. I dropped into their office with my external hard drive that (Thursday) lunch hour and the technician I spoke to was wonderful. Because of his knowledge, expertise and great customer service I walked out feeling relaxed and more hopeful than what I had been that I would get all my data back. I opted for their regular service, which was meant to take quite a while, but the turnaround was only a few days and before I knew it (early the following week) I had all my data back again! and (for just a little bit extra) all my data was loaded onto a new external hard drive so I didn't have to do it! I would DEFINITELY recommend Payam to my friends and anyone needing data recovery at a reasonable rate!

Charles A.

I like the way they stand by their promises they have given me. The costs have been very reasonable. I completely recommend this company to anyone who needs data restoration.

Phil Heyne

That desperate sinking feeling of your hard drive failing can spoil your whole day. Thanks to Payam within a few days I had all my data recovered and back in my new computer.

Joel Ricci

We recently had our hard drive crash on our server at work!!  Payam data recovery were magnificent!! They retrieved all our data in a fast turnaround. We would highly recommend them to anyone!!

David Crofts

A very genuine company that cares about its customers. Their obligation-free quote is exactly that, obligation-free and with no hidden charges. They were able to recover all my data from my corrupt HDD at quote price and within the timeframe, whilst displaying great professionalism and prompt responses to my queries.

P.S. Shoutout to Kane from the Brisbane office for his professionalism.

Matt Colcombe

Excellent service with a professional completion of the work. I was very grateful to have my data successfully recovered. I was kept up to date with emails and the overall communication was very good and helped me feel confident in their service. Thanks again!

Matthew Scowcroft

We were very happy. The quote for the work was realistic and it was done in the timeframe estimated. We have all our data and we’re happy with the results.

Sending a hard drive with physical damage to attempt data recovery of a number of important files. They were completely successful in recovery of the requested data. And even before the job began were able to answer questions pertaining to their process and job information.

And excellent and fast service with amazing communication.

Highly recommended for your similar needs.

Wife's phone died without any warning and she had not had time backup photos. Luckily Payam were able to recover them all. Not the cheapest service, but what price can you put on memories? They retrieved 27GB of data, over 14,000 photos and 250 videos. Made a very happy wife when she got the backup drive Christmas morning. Staff were very polite.
Only one very small area of improvement for them would be to provide a little more comms. We chose the Economy Service (1-2 weeks) that took 3.5 weeks. Acknowledging that website states times subject to change, however there was no comms from them, it was only when I chased status updates.

Cannot recommend and thank the team at Payam enough. They restored a damaged hard drive of mine that contained so many previous photos of my family and friends. They were totally transparent with the process and managed my expectations well. Great customer service , cannot fault them. Thanks so much team
