Taleen M

I recently lost all of my photos off my second internal hard drive after having a DVD drive installed in 2 of my computers by a well known company. A friend in the computer industry recommended that I take my computer directly to Payam. I went over that afternoon and spoke to Paul. He went through all the options and prices available to me for the recovery. Although I had gone late in the day, Paul rang me the next day with information on the hard drive. The previous company had not only destroyed my photos but had mixed up my hard drives and connections between the 2 computers they were dealing with. It took a while to trace back where the mix-up occurred but with Paul's help I finally figured it out and I was able to get the correct drive to him for repair. I ended up with all of my photos back and all the hard drives and connections in the right location. Payam only charged me for the recovery of the damaged disk throughout this whole complicated process. Paul then rang to make sure that I had all the correct information. Many thanks to Paul for all of his help. I always appreciate great customer service and I got it by the bucket loads at Payam.

I highly recommend Payam Data Recovery. My iphone was 100% dead, I tried every possible process to wake it up and had been advised by a number of technicians that it was close to impossible to retrieve any data - Payam Data Recovery were successful. Thank you

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.

Ellise Myerson

I previously went to other shop. Terrible service and couldn't retrieve anything off my hard drive. The technician was also very unprofessional and rude. So glad I found Payam as they saved the day! They always gave me updates of the process and retrieved all my important documents

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.

Amy Mault

The server we use to store all our small business files blew up and Payam were able to do a full data recovery. They were fast, professional and communicated clearly throughout the process. Highly recommended.

David F.

Payam recovered important data from a remote research expedition when an SD card split in 2. No other data recovery service were able to recover the data and Payam persevered for months until they were successful. We are very grateful and pleased.

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.

Cris Lovelace

I work for a big a bank (not allowed to publish the name) and the only company we trust is Payam Data Recovery. The guys in IT said they saved us a few times when we had a server crash so when my personal external hard drive fell off my desk and hit the ground really hard - I took it to Payam to have a look. The ground was - it was not as bad as I had thought. They got my photos back in about 2 days and it cost $275. I was expecting it to cost $1500+. Really friendly too from the guy at the reception desk - forgot his name, I think it was Mick

Kristen Sager

You only pay if they can recover your data, that was a big selling point for me. The process from start to finish was an efficient one and they managed to retrieve 100% of my data. Great website also. I will definitely use them again in the future.

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.

Maggie Sharp

The relief of hearing the news that most of my data had been recovered was huge! To potentially have lost the first three years worth of photographs of my children's life was heartbreaking but thank god, these guys managed to save it and I'm so grateful! Super professional and lovely customer service. I felt I was in good hands and I really appreciated the regular updates on how the work was progressing. Warmly recommend Payam!

I recently lost important data on an external hard drive. I was referred to Payam by my IT department. They had no prior experience of them but sent me their contact details based on website information. I received prompt and kind service. I was listened to carefully, given realistic expectations of the recovery outcome and shown empathy in relation to my frustration. The parking and access facilitated the speedy service. I did not see anyone dressed like the image in the website. I experienced a highly professional service. Strongly recommend.

Klaus Hooper

I recently moved states and regrettably I didn't backup my HDD, thankfully Payam was around to recover what I thought was lost, double thumbs up for sure and if I ever have the trouble again I'll be back for the excellent service and great people at Payam Brisbane!

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!

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.

Denis Wade

Recently I had a Netgear ready NAS bite the dust. A software glitch broke my 4x4TB RAID 5 array and I was scared to have lost the lot. Craig from Payam took on the task of virtually recreating the RAID 5 array and was 100% successful. All of my data was intact as if nothing happened. After supplying him with a 10TB drive. All data was transferred and safely recovered within a few days. I am so glad I found this company. Craig was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Kind, friendly and very professional. Thank you so much for your service and your ongoing advice. RAID is redundancy only, I now have my photos all backed up onto multiple drives and google storage cloud. I cannot thank you enough! Kind regards

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.

Dayle M.

I thought I had lost all my photos off my phone, some with such important personal memories and totally irreplaceable.Payam staff did such an amazing job and retrieved my photos.The compassion and thoughtfulness I was treated with through this whole procedure was exemplary and I would never hesitate to recommend Payam.

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.

Steven Patterson

I was very happy with the support and service provided by PAYAM in Perth.
Updates on the progress were consistent and provided progress of the work being done. I even received an email apologising for the job taking longer than normal, are rare customer service you see these days. I’m happy to point all clients to PAYAM for data recovery jobs.

KishanGoonniah

I was very happy with the service provided from the free and fast assessment to the total restoration of my data on time and at a great price.

Jayne McCabe

I cannot rate the service provided by Payam Data Recovery highly enough! I have done a few big things in my life, such as getting married and building a house where you would reasonably expect to receive great service, but this exceeded even those!!! Payam are very transparent and upfront about the service they provide and so you can rest assured that they will do everything to get your data back. The emails I received along the way were both regular - so I never had to wonder what was going on - and they addressed every question before I had even thought of it. The shipping and payment process is simple and hassle free. This is a good, honest Australian company and the best at what they do. Thank you Payam for recovering my memories!

Leon Silver

I was very happy with your work. You were fast, efficient and good value. I will certainly use you next time.

Phil Smith

Kane in the Brisbane office is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to. VERY happy with the Services received

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.

Larson Wolters

Required some Data from an old raid setup, the team at Payam are very helpful and efficient, kept me in the loop the whole way through the process. Great service would highly recommend!

Bernadette Marie O’Farrell

I was extremely happy with the service I received! I thought I had lost my entire university thesis and various other important files when I had spilt tea on my MacBook.

I searched tirelessly for a company that would not only be able to retrieve the data at a reasonable price, but one that I could trust with such personal information. The team at Payam kept me up to date with the progress of my data recovery and managed to retrieve all of my files!

I have already recommended Payam to friends and family -particularly those who are as clumsy as me and just as likely to spill liquid on their computers. Thanks again for all of your help!

Ian Leung

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.

cameronc42

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.

rmain

As a photographer and videographer, my external hard drives are my life! So when one of my harddrives died on me when I was completing a backup- I was a bit of a wreck. I had client's work on there that I had to recover. After taking it to a local computer repair place, I was disheartened when they told me they could not complete the job. Fortunately, however, they recommended Payam Data Recovery. As soon as I arrived, Craig carefully explained in detail their services and tactics to recover my content. I immediately felt reassured and went home feeling much more positive. Long story short- ALL of my data was recovered and I was able to finish my work! Hopefully I don't have to see Craig again, but if I do, I know I'll be in good hands. Excellent customer service and I have no hesitation recommending this business!!

Everything is taken

Awesome service and great people. Thanks Paolo.

Ria Claassens

Really happy with the data recovery work you guys did for me, so very grateful I got my data back. Thank you so very much, will be backing everything up in the future.

Diyana Henkel

I was really happy with the results! I got all of my missing files back in one piece, which is the main thing.

Jimmy Tang

My HDD died due to firmware corruption. Recovery cost $600. Great service. Easy to reach from the station.

Angela Giagodi

Great service! Payam data not only recovered all critical data possible but they also kept us updated with progress along the way. Thanks - have already recommended you to a friend.

Michael Crichton

I called every data recovery company in town when my laptop hard drive crashed, I spoke with the guys at Payam on the phone and he was so helpful. In person they explained everything to men and showed me their prices on their web site. Great customer service and clear upfront prices.

Kent Driver

Before dealing with your company I was under the impression that data recovery is a very expensive and troublesome experience to be avoided at all costs. I was referred to you by my IT person, who gave a good report from a previous experience of referring a customer. After receiving an outline of your services I was pleased to discover you offer a range of levels of cost v timeline, so I was able to choose something that met my needs and budget. I was then impressed with the level of service and communication throughout the process. I will not hesitate to recommend you should I come across anyone needing similar help in recovering data. Thank you.

Philip Balfour

My iPhone stopped working for no reason. Unfortunately, I had not backed it up - the phone contained photos of my twins. I was heartbroken, I thought I would never see those photos again. Payam successfully recovered my data! I will forever be grateful. Thank you so much payam

Brett Vincent

We are a small computer sales and repairs shop, which uses Payam to recover data from our customers hard drives when our tools and systems cannot. Their service is professional, and the thing I really like is that they kept me informed at all stages of the recovery. Best in class service.”

Brought in both my 2 TB Segate HDD's gave them to Mark at Payam Data Recovery in St Kilda where he only took couple of days to diagnose my problem which i found to be amazing as they had completely stopped working turns out a simple pcb fault on the drives was nothing that he could not handle and in only 2 weeks he managed to save all my files on both drives 100% for a cheap price i was so very impressed with the time and professionalism mark has showed every step of the way 10/10 would Highly Recommend this service.

Vinny Corey

What looked like a hopeless case when strip hard drives failed, was turned around, and for a reasonable price all data was recovered - well over 200 GB. Well done!

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!

Annie McIntosh

Very friendly very helpful successful recovery

Kevin Lam

I have used Payam in the past and again more recently and it has been a very pleasant experience on all occasions.

They are great at what they do and provide efficient and friendly service.

I would definitely use them again if the need arises and highly recommend them to anyone interested in their services, you will not be disappointed.

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 🙂.

Michael Shenton

My Laptop fell off the desk onto the floor and would not reboot and the disc was unreadable. The information on my laptop was worth many millions of dollars. I was extremely pleased that Payam was able to recover all my data when a normal computer repair company was not able to assist.

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!

Paul Luxford

My hard drive stopped working and so I took it to Payam Data Recovery and they were able to get all my valuable photos and videos and info back without any issues. I am really happy and will never hesitate to suggest Payam to anyone.

My Hard drive on my laptop died recently without any warning, as such I had to replace the hard drive but doing so I lost thousands of files being a small business I could never replace.
I connected with Payam, and they were so helpful on what needed to be done, and once they received my hard drive they more or less let me know every step of the way of the process. Once finished and they had retrieved 99.9% of my files, they sent me an email and SMS letting me know of the good news and a link showing the files that had been retrieved. I will be ever so grateful to them.

The BEST service ever. I was assisted by Tim. Tim has been absolutely amazing. From the start he was extremely informative about all the procedures and steps that would take place. His knowledge and skills are so incredible and advanced. He knows exactly what he is doing and advised me the best solutions along the whole way. He is highly experianced. He went beyond helping me understand data recovery and steps I could take in future in order to have a good backup.

My laptop (Macbook air) was fixed and I was able to receive 100% of my data back.

I am so happy with Payam ! The staff are incredibly nice.

I would highly recommend Payam to anyone who have broken their tech gadgets or are facing any issues.

BIG THANKYOU😊😊😊

I had 2 laptops that I needed data recovered from and Payam were so helpful! They got my data back from one of my laptops on the spot, and the other laptop was super fast too. They also provided good advice regarding warranty claims for the laptop and on ways to back up my data in the future. Can’t recommend them enough!
