I had a great experience when a NAS enclosure failed. PDR were able to quickly ascertain that the disks and associated data were intact, and recovered all data, whilst keeping me informed of the progress.. Great service. Well done
May Lee
Excellent service! Very happy with the results. I particularly appreciated the quick 24 hr turnaround on giving me an estimate.
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.

A HUGE thank you to Paolo for recovering my severely water damaged iPhone! Also the to team at Payam for their professionalism, kindness and awesome service......so refreshing! After being told by two other technicians that there was no hope......Payam found a way!!! Paolo you must be acknowledged for your tenacious will to find a solution! I now have precious photos of my children and most recently of my newborn, which I thought I had lost forever.... Words cannot explain my gratitude and will be forever grateful!!! I highly recommend Payam Data Recovery Specialists! Amazing!!!
Thank you so much!
With Warmth

Thank you for your professional service from the first enquiry to the end result of my Data being successfully retrieved. Your staff are polite, very helpful and go the extra mile to help customers. If I ever need you services again I would not hesitate as I know my Data is in safe hands. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone that needs that special data saved from a crashed hard drive. Thanks once again.
Besharl Hein
You did a great job from start to finish, and it was very much appreciated.
Tee Harris
Great service. I got all the data recovered within days and the cost was acceptable. It is good that the NAS manufacturer LaCie knows their service and it is on their recommended list. It's a good wake up call I need to do dual backups. 🙂

Time capsule backup seemed corrupt so rang Payam. Mark patiently assisted me, initially over the phone and then quickly helped me when I visited Payam’s offices. Excellent service.
Aaron D
Very professional outfit. Kept me informed, were prompt in getting back to me and it seems like they enjoy what they do. very satisfied with their service and work.
I will definitely recommend them to anyone that needs their data recovered from dead or defective disks.
Rebecca Harrison
I cannot recommend Payam's services highly enough. Lachlan and the team were so helpful, clearly explaining the data recovery process, the costs involved, and managing my expectations every step of the way. The result? The complete recovery of data from an iPhone with a cracked screen that had spent a not inconsiderable amount of time at the bottom of a pool! Thank you so much, Payam

Rohan, Paolo, Greg, Stephen,
Thank you for the excellent work. I can't thank you guys enough for recovering all my irreplaceable data. Appreciate your prompt reply and communication on every step of the way. Discounts that was offered were immensely helpful financially.
Will definitely recommend you guys if anyone I know needs data recovery.

I was devastated when my local computer shop told me they could not recover the contents of my External HDD. They could ghost it, but couldn't get the files to open. The young fellow in the shop, after much research myself, gave me PAYAM's web address and I contacted them in their Sydney office. (much cheaper than everyone else I contacted) They got all of my files back except 1. How good is that....... Would definitely recommend them to anyone with Drive problems!
Peter Juniper.
Your service was excellent and I couldn’t fault it. Communication, pricing and the processing timing was made very clear and reiterated a number of times. My dead mobile phone was processed surprisingly quickly and the data I wanted to retrieve was recovered.
Paul Barber
I would highly recommend Payam to anyone that has had a hard drive fail. It was the worst feeling when it happened but the guys sorted it out with no fuss. Above all else I appreciated not being taken for a ride to get priceless family videos back.
Michael Bachelder
After my hard drive died - I was in shock, as I didn't have a back up. A friend recommended "Payam data recovery", as they were able to recover my documents, photos and data... My problems were solved.

I will never be able to thank PAYAM enough for the great job they did in recovering some very precious photos I had accidently deleted. They were very professional, quick and pleasant and kind enough to help me download their disc to my computer when I returned home. These Magic Men are also my heros - I just didn't believe a recovery could be done. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, boys.
Karl May
I was in tears when my USB flash drive snapped in half. Another data recovery company had it for 3 days and said it could not be recovered. Payam Data Recovery told me they recovered it using a chip off method that not many other places could do in the world. I believed them as i got all of my data back about 5 days later. I hope i never need data recovery again but i would definitely recommend Payam data recovery.

I have worked as an IT Support technician for over 10 years. I have often been able to recover data for clients. If the drive is able to spin up I can often get data off. But not this time! This drive just crashed with no warning, no slow writes and reads. Just bang and gone. Since the drive contained varieties of information in various states of backup, it was commercially important to try and recover it. The guys at Payam worked their magic and recovered as far as we can tell all 240 GB of files. Payam now provides me with another option for clients who must have that data back. Very professional, very helpful.
Alexandra Brescia
Coming back from a holiday where I dropped my Iphone 4 with all vacation pics into a pond, I came back and took my phone to PAYAM Data Recovery. Paolo Bileci from Payam was great and told me what needed to be done to retrieve lost data and it was, very quickly as well! Highly recommend this place to everyone!
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.
Jen H
Thanks Payam you saved all my photos and music from the last 16 years. So grateful for your service as I was very upset at the thought of losing these memories. Always backup your backup
Marlon Simmons
The North Sydney branch retrieved some valuable data that was extremely important from a CF card. It was a hardware/circuit issue so I Got told 3 quotes and depending on the problem it would be anywhere between $220 - $700+
I was ready for worst case scenario and wouldn't have know any better so they could have said $700+ and u would have paid no questions but they were honest and told me it was a minor hardware issue and charged the minimum $220.
In addition from ongoing correspondence via phone and email, what really impressed me was their honestly and genuinely wanting to help.
Would definitely go back (fingers crossed I won't need to) but it's got to know there are pro's out there who can help in a what seems like a useless situation.

Thanks Payam for saving my bacon--and my budget. I didn't really have a choice to not recover my data, and all other avenues had turned up a non-result, or a hideously expensive result. As it is, they were able to recover all my data, at a very reasonable price. The staff were fantastic too: incredibly helpful, professional, and supportive in my time of need. Love your work, Payam!

I think Payam did a good job with my data recovery situation. I would recommend your service to anyone with a hopeless data loss situation and needs a saviour.
Joy Wu
With so much to do one recent night, I spoilt things by plugging laptop into external hard drive powerpack, and vice versa. The laptop survived, but I lost a lifetime of records on the 640 Gb drive. The local IT guys in Vanuatu weren't able to help recover any, however my IT friend Terry Carlot recommended sending it to Payam in Brisbane. I contacted them, and from then on, with Payam Greg Gill's help, it seemed life was worth living again. The data recovery work was done quickly and contact kept up. I appreciated Greg's manner, the efficiency of data recovery as well as the chance to buy economically a new larger drive to store that data, and the returning the drive to me by the alternative means I requested. Thanks for the good work, Payam.
Brenda Jason
A hard drive crash is very stressful, when it happened to me I called up crying and in tears. I was treated with compassion and kindness which impressed me when first calling them. I only paid $440 and got my data back in a few days after another data recovery company told me it was not recoverable and had my hard drive for months. I'm glad I tried Payam Data Recovery before giving up. I have tears of happiness now! lol
Scott E
I was told that the likelihood of even recovering my external hard drive was 20-30% from another person.......... but when I took it to Payam they told me they would try their best - and boy did they deliver - They recovered 91% of my lost data - and this was amazing considering I thought I would not have a hope in actually recovering it at all - The team at Payam were beyond Fantastic and I can't thank them enough = I will definitely be using them again if I am ever in a situation like I was.
Our business relies on digital storage and when a drive fails it can cause great concern. We recently experienced an issue with a drive that was used to store critical client data. Without hesitation we sent the drive to PAYAM Data Recovery and they have successfully recovered all data and returned it to us on a new drive. Their communication and service is professional and courteous and everything they promised was delivered. If we have any future hard drive or data recovery issues they’ll again be my first – and only - call. NextGen Studios.
Aziza Ibrahim
Really appreciated the work you did for me and recovering the data on the hard drive.
It contained photos of the first two years of my son’s life and with no other copies and backups of these at the time (I’ve since learnt my lesson) I was grateful for your service and success in recovery most of these precious memory.
Greatly appreciated and highly recommended.
Rod Smith
I was happy to have my files retrieved. From the outset it was made clear that no guarantee of a successful outcome could be provided. I realised that I may have been wasting money committing to the attempt. Subsequently the data that was able to be retrieved was more than compensation for that which couldn’t. During the process I was kept adequately informed.
Sarah Hidayati
I am surprised to see how you recover the data and the good communication provided. Initially, I though the data would lost anyway. Keep up the good work guys.
Bhakti
I was very happy with the service received.

We were very happy with the service of taking a hard drive array set and restore all of the data for our client.
Shane Roberts
You guys did some recovery work for me and I would like to say thank you for your great work. The seed of your work was great and you helped me out on a great price. I would like to thank the team at reception for putting me at ease. Thank you again and I will recommend Payam Data Recovery to all that need recovery work done…….Thanks again
Jason Whitehead
Very prompt professional and courteous service. Highly recommend!
Stephen Schilg
All in all I couldn’t have been more pleased with the process. I was quoted over $800 by a local company, who couldn’t promise that it was able to be fixed.
I saw the prices on your website as well as the free quote and no fix no fee offers. Couldn’t have been a better deal. I posted the HDD down along with a spare to move the recovered data onto. I selected the economy option by the recovery was done within a week! Could not have been happier with the whole process!
Gary Phau
Super Service! The team managed to recover ALL of the data on my two hard drives which crashed simultaneously on one weekend. Some of the data was precious photos which are irreplaceable.
Was kept up to date on what was happening and the data was recovered within the timeframe promised. The cost was very reasonable and I'm happy with every part of the process. Well done to Mark and Craig for your excellent service and professionalism - I can and will definitely be recommending your services!
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.
Seaneen
Payam's service was wonderful, I thought I had lost all my backup but they came to my rescue.
Cassette
These guys literally saved my life! I was DJing at Ivy and the dj after me knocked my mac laptop off the stage and into the chlorinated water surrounding the stage (without realizing). It was under water for at least 10 minutes! I came back from the bathroom to see it at the bottom of the moat.
Despite the extensive water damage, these guys managed to recover ALL my data within a month!
Very happy with the fast, friendly, efficient and professional service they provided!! 🙂
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!

I had an old but reliable computer system which I depended on for years, for most of my programming tasks and research work. The processor is a Pentium II 100 MHZ, 8 MB RAM running windows 95 as the main operating system (responsible for booting) together with windows 3.11 for workgroups, with two HDD of 424 MB and 540MB capacity respectively. The two drives C (the master drive) and D were compressed using the MS compression program Drvspace which comes with Windows 95. The compression process yielded 4 drives: C as the master drive, D as the subordinate drive, together with two virtual drives H which is the host for C and G which is the host for D. The system was vigilantly protected and was not connected to the internet. The nightmare started during the completion stages of writing my M.Sc. thesis (the relevant data was stored on the D drive), the system crashed unexpectedly due to a physical problem with the master HDD C comprising some bad sectors. Subsequently the corruption led to the modification of the master disk partition tables, which in turn was interpreted by the BIOS in a manner that led to its failure in finding the system files within the booting sector. Accordingly, the booting process was constantly failing with the message DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER Moreover the data on the four drives was not visible! There was no joy at all, when trying to start the system using a system disk, and when running SCANDISK diagnostics on the C drive, there was the indication that the CVF (compressed Volume File) logical structure is intact, with no bad parts. i.e. the FAT, etc but the directories cannot be accessed, as the drive is dismounted, with the advice to mount the drive through installing Drvspace (already installed). A weak earlier to that event, I heard of PAYAM on the radio with the catching phrase We can recover data that is deemed by many as unrecoverable. Luckily on that day I wrote down their web address. I went to seek PAYAMs services regarding my computer problem. When I first got there, I was given a sheet of paper to describe the problem and list the most important directories to be recovered. I was asked to explain the problem orally as well to a very courteous and good listening member of the team. On that same day I was sent an e-mail by PAYAM, listing and explaining the various methods of advanced software recovery which is on offer, and the agreement terms involved. In few words, the PAYAM team was able to recover the entire data on all drives despite the complications arising from the compression procedure (the data had to be decompressed) and the outdated technology involved. What impressed me the most beside their technical prowess was their quick professional responsiveness to enquiries and questions during the period of recovery. During that duration, I was gravely worried to lose my valuable data, and had many questions and suggestions. A PAYAM team member usually communicated with me through e-mail or by returning my phone call, the very same day I raised an issue or had an inquiry. Moreover, on the recovery day, I had a very pleasant and informative chat with one of the team members regarding the most efficient backup methods and reliable storage devices. I am very satisfied with the result I got from the PAYAM team, I was able to recover data that took many years to collate. and which if lost would have been devastating. I would strongly recommend PAYAM recovery services to all my friends and colleagues when facing similar data recovery problems. I would also recommend them to everybody in need of their services, because from what I experienced, they are simply the best in their field.
johngauci2000
Very professional, helpful and effective. I would highly recommend their data retrieval service. They recovered all my data and provided very useful advice. A number of sources recommended Payam as the best in the business and now I know why.
Peter Reidy
Excellent service, kept me up to date along the process. Absolutely no pressure to pay unless satisfied. I had wiped nearly 1000's photos from my Eurotrip and they were able to recover the majority.. very glad I decided to get their help.
John N
Discovered my USB had a unrecoverable error preventing me from accessing my substantial client files. Most IT people I spoke to said I'd be unable to recover anything. I took the device to Payam and they were able to recover every file. Craig and the team are AWESOME and I've shared my experience with many to date. Great to find a tech service that delivers on what they promise. I will continue to share my great Payam experience. Thanks Craig.
Jane Harvey
Thank you very much for your assistance – I was very happy with your service.
Kathy Perry
The staff was very good and understanding.
Ade Newie
Professional+++, good at what they do, fast efficient, delivery. Lost 10 years of family photos, everyone else said the data was unrecoverable. Highly recommended.
I found Payam on the internet after my external HDD failed and my IT support at work could not help me out. Craig was very helpful and responded very quickly to my queries. After some tests, all at no charge, Craig informed me of my options. The data I required was urgent and thanks to Payam most of my data was recovered in a timely fashion, at a reasonable price with no hidden costs. I would highly recommend Payam and their services.
Emma B
Excellent experience with Payam. They recovered data for me that no one else could. Definitely worth it to recover years of lost photos. Thank you!
