Justine

The team at Payam retrieved data from my very sick MAC laptop and an old hard drive (from 2003 !!!) I can't thank them enough. I now have all my children photo's that I thought were long gone and all the files for my business. I can't recommend this company enough.

Ceasar Levine

I can only say wonderful things about my experience with Kevin at Payam. Kevin recovered all data on a USB drive - a happy ending. Thank you so much!

Victoria – Melbourne

A great service. We had told by another place (who had been otherwise really helpful at repairing the computer) that they could not retrieve the data. Craig at Payam not only recovered it all but then was so helpful at helping us reload it onto our new system. Very grateful for their service.

Luke Jackson

I knocked over my external hard drive while in the process of backing it up. I took it to Payam and they assessed it and gave me a quote within 24 hours. Once I agreed to the quote I had all my data back within a week. Friendly polite and professional staff.

Inserting my USB into my computer it told me my files could not be recovered as my disk needed to be reformatted. Knowing that the USB contained valuable files I googled where I may go and decided to contact Payam to see if they could recover the files. It was the week before Christmas but I was provided with a quote the same day for the cost of the recovery. My files were returned at the time estimated for the recovery and there was a follow-up a few weeks later to see I was happy with the files recovered. While unfortunately not all of my files could be recovered (which is no fault of Payam) I was grateful for those that they managed to recover. I appreciated the professional service provided by Wes keeping me up-to-date on progress. I would have no problems recommending their service to others

Bruce Real

It was with great relief that Payam Data Recovery were able to recover in excess of 95% of the data on my hard drive. I opted for the cheaper method of waiting but I was impressed with the service given.

Great price, great service, great business! My work external drive died and Payam recovered all my files and put them onto a new drive for a fraction of the cost I was quoted elsewhere. I took the new drive back to work and spent a day updating and sorting all my job files on the drive. I then left it with another unit within my workplace for them to backup the files to a server. I was totally shattered when they dropped the new drive and stuffed it. I took it back to Payam and they fixed the drive for free. Awesome service! Thanks for your help guys.

Julie Green

Completely recovered all files from corrupted hard drive. Very efficient service.

Excellent Service - PAYAM successfully recovered 11 years of photos from my failed HD where others had failed.  Their service was professional and personable and worth every penny.

Reading the other reviews for PAYAM, I wasn't surprised at the string of praises and 5 star ratings...

Bennie Gordon

When my Intel SSD stopped working after it went to sleep one day, I googled data recovery and Payam were the first to get back to me. They recovered everything for $600. Worth every cent. Easy to deal with.

Ashleigh Roome

Thanks for retrieving my holiday photos!

I had 500+ important (to me) photos seemingly lost forever on a faulty compact flash card. My PC was requesting the card be formatted and my camera wasn't recognising it at all!

Fortunately, I located Payam Data Recovery via a Google search and after their free quote and assessment of the problem, they were able to recover every single image on the card - for a more than reasonable fee.

Excellent service. Very professional. I thought I'd lost all my files and photos. Everything important to me was recovered. And they're an Australian company too!

Nick Ni

Had a WD My Book Live 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.

Jay Lesquillier

Kane was very helpful and professional

Laura Le Mercier

Such a relief to have all of my precious memories returned! Looked around at quite a few places, and no one said they could do it. Was heartbroken, until Payam said they could do it. Thank you Payam!

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.

Gary Reed

Once again, Payam demonstrated its technically superiority, outstandingly professionalism, and absolutely reliability.  You turn a disaster into a pleasure every time. You have earned my endorsement and strong recommendation.

Sandy McManus

I was referred to PAYAM Data Recovery by my IT contact and I admit to being delighted with the service and the turnaround time that I experienced with PAYAM. We were quite frantic when we lost our data and our back-up. We have had this occur once before and with a less than satisfactory outcome provided by the previous data recovery company, I was very anxious. I spoke with Payam himself initially and then continued through the data recovery process with the professional assistance of Paolo Bileci.

Paolo was terrific. He kept me informed, he reassured me with his expert knowledge of what needed to be done. Paolo worked to my budget and gave constant, excellent customer service and feedback, throughout the experience. I collected 100% of our data and walked away with the absolute confidence that I would use PAYAM Data Recovery again if the need arose again. I can confidently recommend their services to anyone in need of data recovery experts! Thanks Paolo for turning my anxiety into a smile at an affordable price

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.

My 1T external hard drive failed while I was backing up!  There were over 25 jobs in there, the hard drive was not working ... I was in a panic in my clients needed there images for an upcoming publication!!!  Thank goodness for these guys!! Superb team who found all the data and in record time!  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Thanks a lot for your job. We were so happy to have all our data, and the guys who explained to us everything about the work was very nice. Thanks to all these super engineers!!

Gaynor Macdonald

Payam recovered almost all my data from an external hard drive - after I had two hard drive crashes in one week. They tried hard but couldn't do the same for a friend so I know how hard they work to make this happen. In both cases, they were excellent to work with, professional and courteous - how all business should be conducted.

Colin Higginson

Very pleased with your service. Got us out of a potential huge mess.

Anika Parks

IMAC HDD failed, they got the data back fast, plain and simple. Pretty easy to get there (Queen street) Great service, Great guys! We recommend them highly!

Emma Burnard

Very professional and efficient. They recovered important data that other shops could not do

Raven V.

I couldn't be happier with the service I got from Payam. I saw 4 different companies before them who told me they would not be able to retrieve my lost photos. I was very distraught as I had just been on my first overseas holiday. Payam were able to get every single photo back. I would recommend them to everyone!

Joel P

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

Kathy Perry

The staff was very good and understanding.

Jerry

When my HDD failed I was in shock thinking “that didn’t just happen, did it?” Everything I thought was worth keeping for the past 10 years was on that Drive.  The guys at the local PC store couldn’t even read the drive, saying “it has some big problems” & suggested I give the guys at PAYAM a call & send them my HDD.  Glad I did! I now have all my data back without losing anything.  Payams communication & personalised service was excellent. If you have any HDD problems these are definitely the guys to call!

Stephen Pittman

Given the nature of my requirements – family photos/personal files that weren’t time sensitive, but absolutely precious – I am very happy with the result, which was a 99.8% recovery – AWESOME!

Krecs

Excellent personal customer service. Fixed my 1Tb hard drive quickly, and explained the whole process. If I ever have recovery issues again this will be the guys that I would deal with.

Clerk

Recently, one of my barristers' computer went for a 'swim' whilst on holidays. He did not have back up and was quite distressed. I had an IT person have a look and they said it required professional data recovery. I then contacted Payam and sent the hard drive over. A representative rang me back the same day and asked various questions and said I would receive a quote and an idea of the amount of data, if any, that could be recovered. The next day I was contacted and advised that 'most, if not all' the data could be recovered and for a very reasonable fee. I was also asked what I wanted done with the defective hard drive i.e. returned or destroyed and if wanted to purchase a storage device or would prefer to provide same. I was able to collect the defective hard drive and storage device within two (2) days of the delivery to them. I am more than happy to recommend PAYAM who provide an excellent, efficient and personalized service to distressed customers by keeping the customers informed all through the process. Thank you once again for all help.

E Kosa

Fast, friendly, efficient service, clearly priced on the web page. Conveniently located in the centre of town. Offered to keep a copy of data until I have created my own back-up. Great communication throughout. Seamless operation. Thanks!

Matthew Van Zijl

My external hard drive fell off a desk and started clicking. 3 computer shops could not help. Payam Data Recovery gave me a quote in a few hours, and fixed it in 1/2 the time they quoted me. Excellent customer service! I was impressed and best of all, I got my honeymoon photos back.

Janine Sabeh

The PAYAM Data recovery men are my IT hero's! l was given a quote within 24 hours and they even took the time to explain to me all my options. After being turned down by 3 other people Paolo Bileci saved the day and did so at a very affordable price! It just goes to show that not only are these men friendly and professional they are incredibly knowledgeable.

Don't waste your time/effort/money on anyone else PAYAM really are the best in the business!

Jye

I was very impressed with the service you offered - and in particular your communication throughout the process. You did a great job and recovered all the data from a few drives of valuable information at a price that pales in comparison to the value of the data recovered.

Sundar Rama

We had a recent hard drive crash on a Linux Server. The data contained images from a weather station located in a remote part of Papua New Guinea for the past 18 months. Kevin and his team were most helpful in recovering the data in full, apart from the minor hiccup where our hard drive caused their PC to start smoking too ! Very professional.

Megan Hobson

I lost important data on a memory card and my friend recommend Payam to me. They got quick response and successfully rescue my data. Thanks again Payam!!

Joan Lamb

My USB flash drive broke when my laptop fell off my bed with it connected. They were able to repair it and copy my documents to a new USB flash drive on the same when I asked for their urgent service. They were the only company I could find who could do this on the same day, the others I called said it would take at least 5 days. I even spoke with the boss Payam on the phone before bringing my flash drive in, he made everything sound like it would be OK when I was majorly stressed out when it first happened

Rosalie Thomas

A huge thank you to all at Payam! Your customer service was impeccable! You guys really go about and beyond. You kept me up to speed with the data recovery process with step by step emails and phone calls. I honestly cannot thank you enough!

Tammy Tattam

When my hard drive died I thought I had lost everything but Payam Data Recovery, recovered & saved my stuff very grateful

Rick (surname withheld)

Your services were second to none and I couldn’t be happier.
I hope I don’t need your services in the future, but in any case, I wouldn’t hesitate to return
And to recommend to other people. Keep it up!

Kelly Watson

I couldn’t be happier with the work data recovery done! I thought I had lost my photos for ever & data recovery brought every one of them back!!

Noel Reyes

My wife and I were extremely happy with your service and with the results. Both staff members we dealt with were friendly and very informative. We were given an honest appraisal of the work required and even an option to suit our budget. That you were able to recover the data we wanted most made the experience all the more worthwhile.

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.

Eric Chen

I think You guys did an outstanding job for the amount of work needs to be done within a tight schedule that would be hard to achieve by any competitors in the industry. The most valuable to me is that you guys are willing to do the job with the right equipment to have the work done properly when requested for high priority service. Few in the industry can do so even offered to pay the right money. By this positive attitude, customers will keep coming back to do business with you and I’m sure your business will go very far. Of course, you deserve the fee charged for the work done with quality and professionalism even it can be costly. I was amazed with the knowledge and skills you have for the job.

It is grateful to mention the effort you guys put in to reinstall the windows on my laptop back to its pre-damaged state with a new hard drive, which has been working well ever since. I also received the backup drive with all the data i needed on the next delivery day at my door once the payment was cleared, so i could carry on with my work. It was just as promised without hassle or surprise. The communication in general was good and prompt.

I am happy with the overall service and definitely will use again and recommend to people who need the service.

Callie Smallwood

I was extremely happy with the work you completed recently! You were able to recover all my work, photos, music and everything I had asked for,  also, every staff member I encounter was very polite and helpful, I will definitely recommend Payam Data Recovery to friends and family

Donna Bonnel

They did a great job recovering all my files. What a relief!! Very glad I found Payam. Happy Customer 🙂

Ali Macmood

I am extremely happy with the service I received and outcome of the data recovery. In addition, your staff also recommended an appropriate Synology solution for future backups at home.

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
