Incredibly pleased with the professional and confidential service afforded, honesty regarding what might be achieved and the associated costs, the timeliness of the service, and the outstanding results. Highly recommended.

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

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.
I recently lost around 850Gb of data on my external hard drive through a crash/corruption, data which consisted of both business and personal data compiled over a period of ten years. I was absolutely devastated when I thought I'd lost it all, because most of it was either irreplaceable or replaceable only through thousands of hours work sourcing it from a wide range of external and internal areas
My computer IT guy in Sydney (A Little Help Computing Services) recommended Payam Data Recovery and whilst one of our businesses is based in Sydney, I live in Melbourne, which is where the disaster occurred. I was very pleasantly surprised when he advised that Payam also had an office in Melbourne, where I met Craig Nevans
Craig was great to deal with, very personable, friendly and efficient, and I am ecstatic that Payam have been able to recover the majority of my data. I have no hesitation in wholeheartedly recommending their services!

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!! 🙂

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.

Coming back home from an overseas conference trip, the last thing I needed was to be greeted by a non-starting desktop. I was desperate to recover my data, especially my 'just-completed' tax return information! PAYAM was recommended by my local IT repair shop as well as by the work IT personnel. It was worth every penny! Service was excellent - fast (within a week), professional and complete (all data was recovered). I highly recommend PAYAM to anyone whose data may have been deemed 'unrecoverable' by other IT service providers.
Johann Kelaart
Our hard drive went to sleep one day and low and behold we had no back-up. I took the drive to a local IT shop who advised the hard drive was corrupted and he did not have the technology to recover. Without hesitation he said he was confident Mark from Payam was required. Payam were so professional in their clear communication, likelihood of success and keeping me informed all the way. It took a solid 3 weeks but in the end all data was recovered. We are so grateful for this professional service and the care taken to recover all data from a seemingly dead drive. I am not a technical person, but I know it was a difficult job, but well worth the wait. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark at Payam, but the first recommendation is - BACK UP YOUR DATA!!!
Leon Ure
Payam managed to recover nearly all of my files, including non-generic formats, after the corrupted HDD was formatted and then another HDD was cloned over the top of it. I highly recommend Payam!
Christina Tee
Payam did a really good job with recovering my files that were in a portable drive that was damaged. Really glad that I entrusted them to do the job!
Amanda Brady
Thank you for your assistance with recovering my data. Your expertise and professionalism certainly got me out of a pickle! Thank you again I will definitely recommend you to anyone in need of data recovery!
Holly McNamara
After a trip to Italy for my 1st overseas holiday my CF memory card suddenly stopped working. Payam got over 4000 of my photos back for me after the manufacturer's tech support told me nobody could help and to buy a new one. I'm so happy they could help! Thank you so much!
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.
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
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
Daniel Matotek
Quality service center, it can be extremely expensive but if you are a business, use no other place these guys are true professionals
Su Johnson
Very happy with Payam’s services. Tried the local IT shop, useless! Next time will go straight to Payam.
Bruce Poon
Thanks for your help. It had been done in a professional manner, quick &fast ! My customer was extremely happy as he got back all the data he wanted.
Suzanne Janine
This company retrieved my data from a mechanical malfunction of some sort from my hard drive. The hard drive could not be accessed using any computer yet Payam managed to get it all off & onto an external hard drive for me. Using the priority service was extremely prompt & the service was friendly and communicative & I was more than happy to pay the fee based on the amount of work it saved me from having to try & re input etc. Hopefully I do not need their services again but if I do have data recovery issues ever I would deal with them I was that happy with their work
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.

Great service...would have been up S$%t creek without a paddle without Payam...

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.
Mulham
My experience was nothing less that perfect. Great Service, seamless process and great outcome.
The guys were able to recover 200GB worth of critical Data from a MacBook Air device.
All in all a positive experience.
Thanks a lot
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.
Stanley Campbell
My experience with Payam was extremely satisfying. The service provided by the staff at Payam from my initial email inquiry and throughout the process was highly professional and exceeded my expectations of service. Staff responded too promptly to emails and returning phone calls, regularly provided feedback regarding 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.
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 dropped my hard drive and it stopped working, it had all my photos and important back ups on there, I sent it to a data recovery company who spent 3 days on it and said they could not find anything on there and that my data was gone!!! not wanting to accept this I found Payam Data recovery and sent it to them, they were able to diagnose why my drive was showing no data and bypass the encryption in a way that allowed them to get the data off they managed to save everything which was a massive relief to me and my partner! the staff where professional and courteous at all times and sensitive to the stress full situation I was in, I will forever be in debt to them for the work they did!
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.

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

Our memory card decided to pack it in right at the end of our overseas holiday :S, so we tried an unnamed data recovery company who wanted several hundred $ just to attempt the recovery! We took it to Payam and we had the data recovered,copied to a huge 32gb usb and back to us in 3days for less than 1/2 of what the other place wanted! The service was top notch and we were even given a discount because we were told our card recovery was impossible, turned out the bad news was for another customer. They recovered as much as they possibly could with our seriously stuffed card, and the overall service was much better then I would have expected.

After approaching two data recovery companies and being told in each case, after initial investigation payments were made, that the data was unrecoverable, hope was almost lost as well as the data. Payam Forensic Data Recovery was then mentioned to try. The service from start to finish was exemplary. Most of the data was recovered on essentially an unrecoverable data drive. This was remarkable as the drive has been opened and tampered with from two different companies previously in their attempts of recovery. Without hesitation I would recommend Payam for data recovery, as from my experience they are the company that got the job done, it’s as simple as that.
Kalvin Dever
We recently had a disk turn faulty in our 4 Tb striped raid storage. Consequently, we faced loosing all the data, some of which was irreplaceable. I found Payam after a Google search and some phone calls to other storage recovery service providers. Payam was the only one who understood the importance of the data to us. I sent the whole device to him and could not be happier with the service. It was fantastic. He gave me a quote with different options including timeframes from which I could choose – and then he met them. I guess the ultimate endorsement is that I have sent a second disk with faulty heads to Payam to have the data recovered. If you need data recovered and customer service is important to you then give Payam a call.
Beth Ammerman
I too was bitten by the "why didn't I backup my data!" regret. I thought 14 years of photos, music and business files were simply dead and gone until I discovered Payam. Great service, 100% of everything restored. It does cost, but worth it! Thanks
Jeffery W
I recently had a NAS server die on me, but remembering Payam's ad on radio i've decided to give them a go. Not only was the data recovered, including literally decades worth of family photos, I was just blown away by Payam's service and his ability to calm the customers who think they have lost all data. Payam is reliable, knowledgeable and diligent and this is one business that I will strongly recommend to others if they have lost valuable data. Thanks!
Desiree Jefferson
After taking my broken iphone to two other places and being told that data was completely irretrievable, I then took it to Payam, where they were successful in retrieving all of my data! Definitely take it here first! Great service and very friendly staff. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. These guys honestly saved my life
Anthony A Malelis
I was blown away with the service and could not be happier. I would recommend to anyone!

After losing my photos on a trip of a lifetime, I was quoted $1700 from a local Canadian company to retrieve my photos due to the complicated nature of my data loss problem. Devastated, I thought my photos were lost forever. After what seemed like endless searches, I heard about Payam through an online blog and sent my broken SD card across the ocean in hopes that they could recover my memories. I chose to pursue the economy service for $300 and immediately began communication with Payam. They were able to recover my photos and have them returned to me in less than the 30 day limit and at the fraction of the cost back home. I would highly recommend this company to anybody looking to salvage photos from a damaged SD card.
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!!

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!

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

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!
Dan Wright
Very easy to deal with and reliable company. All my work was quoted quickly and accurately, no surprises at the end of the job and they were able to get all of my data back from some very old hard drives. Highly recommend using their services.
Everything is taken
Awesome service and great people. Thanks Paolo.
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!

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.
I had a 1TB HDD with Music and 10 years worth of photo's...the loss would have been devastating. I took the HDD to PAYAM and a day later all my data was recovered. Great service and eager to please. *** Thank You ***
Tommy Neilly
I called Western Digital tech support last month after my WD MyBook stopped working. They told me to try Payam and I'm glad I did. They were so helpful and got all my documents back fast. Was cheaper than I expected and the guys were very helpful when I was panicking. Thanks a million!!
