I just want to thank the Payam team. You guys really took the time to recover all files from my faulty hard drive which has5 years worth of work on it. You recovered almost all of it and I couldn't be more happy. You kept in contact and always informed me what was going to happen. You guys are amazing, service is amazing! Highly recommended. Thanks again!

Thanks Payam, for your amazing recovery. I can't believe that a data out of USB stick that was quite damaged could be recovered in less than 48 hours.
From the beginning of time during the submission of my USB stick, and till you gave me a new stick with recovered data, you guys showed complete100% customer service. Kudos to your team.
No words!
Many Thanks

Great service and work! Quick to respond to emails and with the recovery of my data off my hard drive. Would highly recommend and use again

I did a lot of research and called a lot of places , I even took my hard drive to a competitor , they couldn't do a thing after 1 week and were disorganized at best. I have extremely valuable information on my hard drive and it was the 2nd time this had happened to me. I was stressed and confused by all the options out there , but the best option is Payam Data recovery. They can never guarantee a result but they were hopefully and they retrieved it all and it was a complicated retrieval but they did it. I highly recommend them and their professional team.

I am so happy with everything you guys did. I was absolutely devastated when i thought all of the photos of my kids and all of my study docs were gone. You guys were so understanding and compassionate and it was such a relief to know you would do everything you could to save my data.
I was extremely relieved to have over 99% of my data recovered. I would recommend you to anybody and will use you again if needed (fingers crossed I don’t though). Thank you so much!

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

Excellent service! Very happy with the results. I particularly appreciated the quick 24 hr turnaround on giving me an estimate.
Claire Sterling
Highly recommended. Their service is excellent. They were able to recover all of the 'lost' data and on top of that they were able to do it in a very fast timeframe. Thank you so much and we would highly recommend your services.
Daniel Rossi
Very happy with the work performed, all data was retrieved and able to be accessed and copied to the new drive.
The team was very friendly and willing to provide solutions that could meet my requirements and also advised of any potential costs that can occur depending upon the findings.
The process throughout was simple which was good for a task involving data that contained so much sentimental value.

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.

I called on Payam after I had accidentally reformatted my windows XP computer hard drive and loaded on a Linux partition. WIth thousands of vital files lost I immediately sought quotes from a number of data recovery firms in operating in Brisbane. Payam were the first to respond to my email enquiry and through their email and subsequent phone call gave me the confidence to proceed with them for the difficult recovery task. At all times the Payam staff were very courteous and professional in their dealings with me and were ably to recover virtually all the required data. I have no hesitation in recommending Payam for your data recovery needs.

I recently lost access to my external hard drive - which cleverly had never been backed up. A lot of data was lost including hundreds of compositions I'd written over the years. My brother recommended PAYAM and I can see why. Fast, free quote, and after accepting the job was completed within a couple of days. The data was couriered back to me on a very well priced new hard drive. I highly recommend these guys, and appreciate the fast service and great communication

I am very happy with the service received from Payam. They recovered most (maybe all) the data from from failed my 500gb laptop drive, and provided the service in under 48 hrs, for under $400. Although the full service price was similar to others, I selected PAYAM as they offered a sliding payment scale, meaning that I initially didn't have to put my hand too far in my pocket with no idea of the outcome. That is- the financial risk was lower. I found the staff helpful and polite on the phone,and at the office, and there was even a follow up call to see how I went. I have recommended PAYAM to several of my colleagues and will continue to do so. My experience was very good. When you balance the cost of recreating/assembling your work, the money was well spent. But it is still no substitute for an effective, confirmed backup. But you probably already know that otherwise you wouldn't be reading this review!

I have been using Payam for probably a decade now. They have never been unable to recover data for me. Their skills and customer service are exemplary. Most recent was a SSD that would not detect in bios, previously I have had data recovered from a failed raid 5 array, a fire damaged drive and some other failed hard disks I recommend their service to everybody

Fast, Efficient, Friendly, Great Service & happy to answer any queries I had. Craig was very prompt with any e-mail queries I had and was happy to take the time out for anything I needed to follow up with. Professional appearance via their website, affordable prices for recovery when compared to other company's out there and would definately use again if the need arises. Most important of all had all but 10 files totalling a few MB recovered off a 1.8 TB HDD! Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a speedy, professional & very affordable data recovery service.

My external hard drive with all my important personal data, photos and videos just didn't boot up one day when I plugged it in it was working the day before and suddenly stopped working the next. I then took it to my local computer shop in Mandurah who tried to recover the information for me and said that it was most likely that all my data was lost and suggested I try Payam Data Recovery Services in Perth as they were the best in the business but they also did warn me that their services were not cheap. PAYAM in Perth attempted to recover my information however, it had to be sent on to the Sydney Recovery Centre. I can't remember how long the service actually took but I was so happy in receiving the phone call saying that they had managed to recover everything! FANTASTIC! I was so very grateful. I doubt any other place could have done the job they did, and you certainly can trust that they will do the best job possible. This however was back in January this year. You would think that this could not happen TWICE in one year and to the same person. However, in May this year, it happened again. This time the newly recovered hard-drive got zapped by lightning all I know was that the hard drive got really hot and then nothing. I went through the same process as before, going firstly to the Perth office who in turn sent it onto Sydney .. And what magicians they are at the Sydney Recovery Centre. They managed to recover the information for me once again. I can't thank you all enough!! It's very obvious to me now to always go to the best place first. It's worth it. If your data is important to you pay for the service DEFINITELY GO TO PAYAM DATA RECOVERY SERVICES!!!!

The staff was very good and understanding.

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!!

I am an avid photographer and a mum of 3 little cuties and I mistakenly stored all my photos including our family and baby pics from 2005 till 2010 on a single external hard drive....so you can imagine my despair when I turned it on one day only to hear a loud clicking, clunking sound with an error message on my computer saying there was no readable files! I was desperate and did as much research as I could to find a company that could help me. I knew I only had one shot and recovering anything from the damaged drive, so after much phoning and emailing around I came to the decision that Payam was the only place that had a very high success rate and I felt assured that they could help my situation. Well my intuition served me well because they had success, they were able to save all my files and I couldn't be happier!! Throughout the whole process we were updated on their progress and our emails were always responded to very quickly. They are extremely professional and my experience with this company has been outstanding! I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that finds themselves in a situation like mine! THANK YOU PAYAM DATA RECOVERY!!!!!

Payam Data Recovery provides a great service when important data has been lost. I've used them a number of times while repairing PCs and servers for people. On each occasion Payam have recovered the data of damaged hard drives. If needed, they have worked through the night and returned data quickly. While it is not a service that you 'want' to use, if you 'need' data recovery, then Payam will help.
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. 🙂
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.
Chris Finch
I am eternally grateful that Payam were able to restore almost all that was lost but especially all my family photos from years back, that was priceless.
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!
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!
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!!
James Bomalick
Your service 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!

THANK YOU PAYAM!!!! Our hard drive decided to crash without warning and we stood to lose 3 months worth of MYOB plus all our photos, music and personal documents. I called Payam and from start to finish they were awesome. Great customer service, a really quick process and all for a reasonable price. I called other data recovery businesses but their prices and customer service didn't stack up to Payam. I totally recommend Payam Data Recovery. THANKS AGAIN!!! You turned a very stressful situation into a manageable one 🙂
Debora Lewis
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.
Geoffrey Jakes
Brilliant service founded on real expertise in the field - this is rare in this day and age. Here's to Wes and Payam!
Rebecca Freiberg
I was very happy with the data recovery work performed!
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.
Ross Smith
Further to your email regarding the data recovery job you undertook for me, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone involved. Your persistence, skill and professionalism in recovering my data is very much appreciated. While the timeframe blew out and the effort required to recover the data proved to be much more than was expected, you billed me what you initially quoted and kept me informed throughout the process. Thank you again.

LIFE SAVER- I foolishly formatted a memory card which contained the birth and first 2 weeks of pics taken of my first born baby boy. Needless to say, I was devastated and very distraught. After a quick internet search I found PAYAM Data Recovery and all the reviews were highly positive. Craig was extremely professional and honest and within 24 hours he had recovered my precious images at a very reasonable cost. Now I can share these special moments with my son when he grows up and it’s all thanks to the know-how of PAYAM. I would highly recommend them in any circumstance where their services may be required. Thanks Craig and if I could add any more stars to this rating I would…
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.
Charles A.
I like the way they stand by their promises they have given me. The costs have been very reasonable. I completely recommend this company to anyone who needs data restoration.
Jamie Dela Rosa
I was very satisfied with the job that you guys did. It was quick, easy, helpful and accommodating. As a full-time student, I greatly appreciated the plan of payment I was put on that was offered to All my files were recovered from my drive and I can’t really be any happier. Thank you.
Steve
Wes at Payam Adelaide was fantastic. After being told that there was no chance of recovering data from my corrupted of card from another data retrieval org, Wes promised he'd do his best. The next day, with little hope left, Wes delivered. So grateful!
Janise Au
My WD portable hard disk died off suddenly with no hope to restore. Got referral from a friend for this company and retrieved the important data at ease. Expect the fee would be mega high – eventually fixed at a fee that is acceptable. High recommended company if you got the same problem.
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
Joanne Hansen
I am happy to say that Payam saved the day for me and I would recommend them anytime. They managed to retrieve data from a broken hard drive from my new video camera which stopped working half way through my son's international sporting competition and o/s holiday. I was told by others it probably could not be done but Payam managed to get most of it off for me. They were extremely efficient and kept in contact with me even after I had the recovery disc to make sure it was OK.
Jamal
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.
David Crofts
A very genuine company that cares about its customers. Their obligation-free quote is exactly that, obligation-free and with no hidden charges. They were able to recover all my data from my corrupt HDD at quote price and within the timeframe, whilst displaying great professionalism and prompt responses to my queries.
P.S. Shoutout to Kane from the Brisbane office for his professionalism.
John Stericker
I have used Payam a number of times and they have always been friendly, accommodating to my needs, and best of all, successful!
Even when we accidentally deleted some family photos off an external hard drive (they weren't even in the recycle bin) Payam recovered all the photos.
AraKia
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!
Anne1111
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!
Ceasar Joseph
The best customer service I have had for years. Caring, helpful and they went the extra mile to reassure me when I was freaking out after my server crashed. RAID-5 data recovery was done faster than expected. Happy to refer you to my friends.
I had ten years worth of family photos, videos, music and general documents on my computer when I recently upgraded. I had done the right thing and backed all of my files onto an external HDD and then formatted the old drive and gave it a new life as a gaming machine for the kids. Unfortunately, I plugged the wrong power supply into the external HDD as I went to transfer all the files onto my new PC. I knew straight away there was something wrong, as the LED didn't come on and there was that horrible smell of burning circuits. I had also bought a NAS with the new computer, so I pulled the external HDD apart and hoped to install the drive into the NAS and recover the data myself......of course that didn't work. I rang every company on the Gold Coast and Brisbane that advertised data recovery (there were alot!) but most of them didn't recover from damaged drives, while those that did wanted to charge me thousands. From there I expanded my search and found Payam in Sydney. To be honest I was wary at first because they were significantly cheaper than most others, but in the end I need not have worried. Not only did they fix the drive for the agreed price, but they called me back with progress reports....twice....without me hassling! In the end I was thoroughly impressed with their service and their prices. I would recommend them any day, and while I don't ever want to use their services again, I would use them above all others.
Mudassar Hafeez
An exceptional service, uncompromised quality, excellent customer service and job well done. Highly recommended. Don't go anywhere if need your data back at any cost. Just use Payam and sit back and relax 🙂
Keep up the good work team
