With so much to do one recent night, I spoilt things by plugging laptop into external hard drive powerpack, and vice versa. The laptop survived, but I lost a lifetime of records on the 640 Gb drive. The local IT guys in Vanuatu weren't able to help recover any, however my IT friend Terry Carlot recommended sending it to Payam in Brisbane. I contacted them, and from then on, with Payam Greg Gill's help, it seemed life was worth living again. The data recovery work was done quickly and contact kept up. I appreciated Greg's manner, the efficiency of data recovery as well as the chance to buy economically a new larger drive to store that data, and the returning the drive to me by the alternative means I requested. Thanks for the good work, Payam.

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 🙂.

My vote is that I thought your service levels were top of the class.

I dropped my laptop and subsequently damaged the physical HDD. I was referred to Payam Data Recovery by PLE computers in Wangara, Perth W.A. I dealt with Samantha of the Payam data recovery team in Perth and she was so helpful in explaining the process and costs involved to recover all of the data from my damaged drive. PDR had the data recovered in less than 2 weeks and I'm astonished as to the speed of the recovery and of the professional and helpful manner in which I was treated. I would definitely recommend Payam data recovery for everyone that has any data loss issues

Payam Data Recovery performed an outstanding job they in recovering data from our damaged disk drive. As an organisation, I can say that we were impressed with the speed with which their team responded to our request and the courtesy and consideration extended to our staff. I was particularly impressed with the follow up contact, we received following the data recovery and the offers of assistance, should we need it. It is not often that I encounter an organisation which lives up to the claims made on its web site, but I am happy to say that, in my experience, Payam Data Recovery meets or exceeds all of the representations made on its web site. As a result of the way our incident was handled, I have recommended this organisation to other businesses we deal with and provided them with contact details. I can not think of a higher recommendation.

My laptop had crashed and I had all my uni data in the hard drive. I didn't want to lose this important data and I found Payam. Great service, friendly staff which is well technically informed. My data was saved and the price I paid was also reasonable. Thanks to Payam for the help.
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.

I can't recommend Payam Data Recovery highly enough. They recovered most of my data from a broken memory card that was in the worst possible condition. In fact, it crumbled when I handed it to Vinh, who straight away reassured me there was hope. And to my amazement, 99% of my photos were recovered a few weeks later. So, anyone out there who is panicking, don't stress, till you visit these guys. I also want to mention the wonderful service I received from Vinh, who called and emailed me regularly to give me up dates, as to where he and his team were at, in regards to recovering my data. Thank you so much, to Vinh, and all the wonderful staff at Payam.
Lynette Lamont
Fantastic service - very professional, helpful and friendly ... and they retrieved my data!!!
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.
Conrad Smith
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.

During May 2009 I was attempting to complete my HSC year at school. Being a student who uses a laptop all my work files for the previous 4 years, including the entirety of my Preliminary HSC and what I had so far done of the HSC, were stored on my computer. Hence you could imagine my horror when I attempted to turn on my Laptop only to find it wasn’t possible to access any of my notes. After a month of differing computer technicians attempting to recover the files I was eventually directed to Payam. Within 24 hours I got the phone call saying they had isolated the problem and offered with a quote to move forward, due to the important nature of my files I immediately moved forward and despite not asking for the express service my files were recovered within the week. On top of this Payam then proceeded to sell me and exceptionally cheap and high quality Seagate external hard drive. This has since ensured that not only are all my notes accessible to me but they are also backed up to avoid this problem happening again. - Jack Thorburn"

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
Jason Harner
Thank for your help. It had been done in a professional manner, quick and fast! My customer was extremely happy as he got back all the data he wanted
Stanley Armstrong
Payam really delivered exceptional service in what was a very critical situation for me. A lifetime of photos were gone as were all my accounting records. They retrieved all my data in a timely manner with professionalism. Highly recommend! A++++!!

Fantastic service from start to finish. Professional, fast and friendly. Thank you for saving us a lot of time, money and heartache from lost files. Kevin, you rock!!
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!
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!
Aziza Ibrahim
Really appreciated the work you did for me and recovering the data on the hard drive.
It contained photos of the first two years of my son’s life and with no other copies and backups of these at the time (I’ve since learnt my lesson) I was grateful for your service and success in recovery most of these precious memory.
Greatly appreciated and highly recommended.
RoseDi
Thank you for your excellent work, after 3 attempts of trying to recover my photos from my iPhone which I had dropped in the toilet and just stopped working, Payam were able to recover everything from my very dead iPhone!!! Excellent customer service!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Stuart Morley
Thank you for the excellent work. You had saved my all data from being lost.
Brendan Cheong
I contacted several different data recovery companies when my Raid 0 array failed. Payam responded the quickest, and not only that, provided me with a range of price options. Their lowest cost option was very competitive and quoted an expected completion time of 4 weeks.
I chose their lowest cost option as I was not in any hurry, but as it turned out, Payam recovered 100% of my data in under 10 days anyway. Communication from Payam was excellent, and I was regularly kept updated of their progress and expected completion time. Their staff was friendly and professional at all times.
I found Payam to be very knowledgeable, experienced, and above all, flexible and very customer centric. I have no reservations in recommending them to anyone
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.
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.

I was very happy with the service received.

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.
David Pascoe
Thank you, totally happy.

After the death of my daughter, I had been all over Sydney and QLD to find someone who could recover the photos of my precious girl. The service I received was phenomenal and I would recommend them to anyone.
Jay Lesquillier
Kane was very helpful and professional
johngauci2000
Very professional, helpful and effective. I would highly recommend their data retrieval service. They recovered all my data and provided very useful advice. A number of sources recommended Payam as the best in the business and now I know why.
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.
Kirsty Walker
Understanding, efficient and quick service. Mark very knowledgable and was able to assist me by retrieving my 'lost' information from a time capsule with patience and ability. 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!
Zeina Cee
When i discovered my crucial data was 'lost' I contacted a I.T technician who said it was highly unlikely that the data could be retrieved but recommended Payam as the place that could most likely find it, if anyone had any chance to?!?....Distressed and desperate I contacted Payam and was calmly talked through the process.Essentially if they couldn't retrieve the data I would not have to pay all the costs and if they did find the data the price was negotiable based on what work they did. I ventured to their office prepared to offer a blank cheque but was pleasantly surprised with the cost of the quality work, but more so impressed by their exceptional customer service. Payam offered me premium customer service for the economy price and were able to retrieve 98% of my missing data in less than 3 working days. They also very generously copied all my data onto a clean hard drive and posted it free of charge to my workplace.Knowing how stressful this time of year was for me, they took an even more personalised approach and provided the hard drive free of charge. I can't tell you how easy it was dealing with Payam. Their work is superb , their customer service is outstanding and communication with them was constant and clear. Just the other day I received an email from Payam letting me know that they were available to chat to if I needed assistance working through my recovered data. I have placed their business card at work and have shared the story of how generous and personalised their customer service was, let alone how amazing their work is to anyone who will listen! Please do not hesitate to contact them for help, I strongly recommend their services to anyone who experiences the grief of data loss. Thanks Payam, words can't express my gratitude for your assistance. I wish you guys all the best in the new year 🙂
Shane Quinn
I am very happy with the service and the professional manner. Especially that I wasn’t slugged an exorbitant price when you guys knew you had me by the Sh&Curls. I will recommend you back to Glencore who sent me to you.
Angus Keenan
Great customer service, and work time. When my sever crashed and looked to have lost my thousands of hours worth of work... They worked their magic and got 100% of my files back! Highly recommended! Great start to the week!!
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

Excellent customer service. Reliable team. Wonderful result. Thanks
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
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.
Mitch Graham
The staff was friendly and very professional. The most amazing part is they delivered as promised.
Vinny Chan
Excellent fast and friendly help - life saving!
Daniel McLoughlan
I had a failed RAID pair and a backup drive that died in the same week - the perfect storm. Payam in Sydney recovered everything for a really reasonable cost.

Payam Data Recovery at North Syd is great. Very professional and friendly service and price is low. Appreciate that they ring to get permission before they take the next step. They take the cheapest option possible. Would highly recommend them to anyone who seek to recover lost data.

We were very happy with the service of taking a hard drive array set and restore all of the data for our client.
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.
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!
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!

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.
James McIvor
Payam was recommended by Apple and I was thoroughly satisfied with the service and outcome. I was able to recover my precious memories at a reasonable price
