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.

Very professional. I rang up a few different places but decided to stop at Payam first because it was quite central (North Sydney) and their price was competitive. The fact that they assured no cost if the data was not recovered was great. All data was recovered and I saved my reputation. Overall a positive experience!
Vaughan Chitty
Thank you, I am extremely happy with the data recovery work. I had tried two other computer repair places but neither was able to recover any of my data, Payam recovered the whole hard drive – very very grateful

After my kids knocked my external hard drive off my desk it hit the ground really hard. I thought everything was gone after my local computer techie could not help. I'm glad i Googled for data recovery and found Payam. They were in the city and got everything back in a few days. Very calm and good listeners when i was so stressed out.

Just a short email to thank you for your excellent technical service. We are a technical Integration company and usually do data recovery for our clients ourselves. When we were unable to recover any data from our clients NAS box we thought it was all lost and sent the drives to you as a last resort, not only did you recover all the data but you did so quickly and efficiently. It was a pleasure working with you and just wanted to send a short note to say thanks.
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!!

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.
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
David Doley
I was completely happy with the service you provided recently in recovering data from my hard drive. All the files were accessible and in good order. Thanks again for a job well done.

We have been using Payam's services for the last couple of years and have always found them to be highly professional, capable and courteous. They have helped many of our customers recover data that would otherwise have been lost and at a very competitive price. We are extremely happy with their service and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone with hard drive problems. We anticipate using Payam for all our data recovery requirements for years to come.
One day I discovered that I wasn't able to open photos and iTunes music from my external hard drive. It had corrupted. I tried a number of downloaded applications that colleagues had used to retrieve data. Unfortunately they didn’t work for me. PAYAM were close by and did a good professional job. They were able to retrieve all my lost data for me.
Dave Romney
Splendid service, recovered a difficult hardware issue for a reasonable price.

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!

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!
Russell Lunney
Completely happy 🙂

We contacted Payam data recovery recently following our hard drive crashing. Everything that was quoted was accomplished and we were impressed with their professional customer service. 5 stars!!

After a new Samsung 850 Pro SSD got corrupted while I was downloading files to my Mac, Craig and Vinh in Melbourne came to the rescue and recovered 340GB worth of files that I thought I'd lost forever. It was an absolute life saver as these were critical files needed for a video job I'd just completed for an important client and the thought of a reshoot was not something I really wanted to contemplate. The knowledge and customer service was exceptional. I'd recommend Payam in a heartbeat
Troy Williams
Unbelievable! Got told by apple + 5 other phone repair shops that my data was 100% uncoverable and not to waste my time with it and you guys managed to get it all back no problem! Should have gone here straight away
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
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!
Lynette Lamont
Fantastic service - very professional, helpful and friendly ... and they retrieved my data!!!
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.
Paula Monteith
Great experience with Payam Data recovery! My hard drive packed up 4 years ago, and the team at Payam fixed it!! Bloody amazing. They were professional, efficient and surprisingly affordable. Highly recommend these blokes. They even got payment plan for the poor folk like myself.
Chad Jason
Payam saved seven years worth of our family photos. They extracted data where others had failed, did it in a short turnaround, offered a great price and were very positive to deal with. 100% recommend!
Stewart E.
Once the service was completed the follow up has been great and the help in getting to understand what was recovered and what was just system files was very helpful in managing the drive.
Jamie Bailey
Quick turnaround, knowledgeable staff

Great Service, Best Price. My external hard drive stopped working which I was using to backup my work and family photos for years! I searched google for data recovery companies and Payam's website was by far the most helpful, their services were the best priced and the location was perfect. So I rang Craig and he said to bring in the drive for assessment. After bringing it in I got a mail from Craig the same day to say what the damage was and to confirm the quote. Now that's service, I was really impressed. Payam recovered all my data within the agreed time. You can't ask for more than that. I would highly recommend Payam to anyone. Thanks again.
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!
Matt C.
Crushed my Mac!!! That was bad enough, thankfully Payam recovered all the data on my SSD. Terrific service and a real relief. Cheers Campbell!!
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.
Peter Macallef
The one thing that I valued most in my business life has been Customer Service. The customer service I received from Lachlan was extremely good, I knew what was happening at all times and the retrieval of my Photos was the highest priority and successfully achieved
Matthew Keith
Our business has recently started utilising the service of data recovery that Payam offers. They are a very professional unit and work seamlessly with our end users. On each occasion Payam has been able to complete full data recoveries. Thank you!
Leon L.
Excellent and accurate recovery. Very prompt service. 880Gb of data fully recovered from my crashed HDD.

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.

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!
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!
Caryn Maloy
After my QNAP has stopped working I called Seagate tech support as the hard drives were made by them. They told me the only place to go in New Zealand was Payam. I'm glad I did - they got all my family photos back at a much lower price than I expected. I have already told the IT guys at my work about them.
Heather Donovan
Was really thrilled that Payam were able to recover all my data from my broken hard drive. This was done in a really timely manner and I would recommend this company to everyone who was in the same dilemma. Would most definitely use them again.

I suddenly encountered a problem with my portable HDD which became inaccessible. I have more than 500GB very important data on it. Thanks to the help from Payam Data Recovery, I finally got all my data back. This is really professional service with perfect output. I'm very satisfied.
Phil Elliott
Quick, efficient kept me well informed at every stage. Great service.

About a year ago my younger sister passed away, and a lot of pictures of us were on a hard drive I accidentally put on wrong power supply and burn the PCB. Never really went into recovery, because why should I, is not that it was critical for me. After I lost her, I wanted to recover the images of us as young kids. The website was very clear, and their reviews substantial in my choosing to take my drive here. The team was very friendly and offered great advice. The picture I recovered are worth so much more than I payed. Thank you!
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.
Shelly L.
A simple storage device, which had worked faultlessly for a few years, decided soon after our recent office move that it was not going to boot up again. Having allowed our backup regime to fall behind by a few months, this meant a significant amount of important business data was inaccessible. Tech support from unitas manufacturer (when finally available) gave us great confidence the unit could be re-started in various ways but no confidence the data on the drive would survive the exercise. Their recommendation was Payam. of course payam was able to quickly and cost-effectively retrieve all of the data on the disk. However it was the way Craig conducted himself, without a hint of smugness or judgement, that was most impressive. The team at Payam are clearly very knowledgeable and highly skilled in this field, but at no stage were we made to feel ignorant or deficient. The whole process was carefully described, then quoted, and communication all through the exercise was timely and professional. We would have no hesitation in recommending payam, they're far better at their job than we are at backing up.
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.”

I was blown away with the service and could not be happier. I would recommend to anyone!
Dave Owens
We were very happy with the work done to retrieve the data. There was four years of company work that we desperately needed retrieved and it was done without any fuss

I'd recently crashed my MacBook Pro and thought i had lost all data in my computer. I brought it over to Apple Store and Mac Centric, both of whom could not help me and suggested that I may not be able to retrieve my data anymore. The latter of whom however, suggested that I would need to go to a an experienced data recovery team and try my luck there. I then recalled my sister (having lost all her photos from an overseas SD card that she bought during her Europe trip) bringing her SD card to PAYAM, after many trial and errors through different data recovery team companies in Sydney. They eventually were the only ones able to retrieve her precious photos again. So i decided to take my computer to PAYAM, and within a day I received a more than reasonable quote which i was not obliged to pay a cent of unless i was 100 percent happy with their work. Not only are they an expert at data retrieval, but their customer service is excellent, which is certainly helpful when you are already distressed. PAYAM are an informative, efficient & reliable company, and i recommend them to anyone who needs their computer back on track again. Thank you so much for your help and fantastic customer care.
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

Extremely happy thanks, was very upset when i thought i couldn’t get this data back as it was 7 years of home movies and important work files, i researched on google and everyone said there was nothing i could do to get past the WD encryption without the chip from my damaged case. It cost less than i thought and it was all done extremely quickly, I’m thankful I gave you guys a go and definitely going to recommend you to anyone that has the same issue.
