Maarten Tentij

Professional service and they recovered my data efficiently. I will now always backup every week. My wife recommended Payam because she also had good things to say about them. I would definitely use them again - but I hope I will not have to

Mandy Mcqueen

Couldn't have asked for a better service, my hard drive couldn't be read by the computer technician, he then recommended Payam. I posted in the hard drive and received a phone call to confirm they had received it, then after only a few hours I received the call to say they could recover the data and gave me a free quote, I opted for the economy service, due to moving house, and was over the moon to hear after a few days that it was successful, they then arranged for the external hard drive and my old hard drive to sent back to me by courier. I would highly recommend Payam to anyone the service was fast, professional and I was keep up to date on progress throughout. Thanks for everything.

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!!

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

Jane Harvey

Thank you very much for your assistance – I was very happy with your service.

Besharl Hein

You did a great job from start to finish, and it was very much appreciated.

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.

Tony Robbis

Clear, thorough and friendly communication throughout the process. They listened carefully to my needs and successfully recovered data for the lowest cost possible and in good time. Very impressive service.

Very happy with Payam service. I opted for economy option as I didn’t have any rush with recovery. What I liked most is the continuous updates on the status of data recovery. But the most important is the final result, almost everything was recovered.

Annie McIntosh

Very friendly very helpful successful recovery

Ash Sydney

I was devastated when my local computer shop told me they could not recover the contents of my USB. It had picked up a virus the one and only time I had used it while travelling overseas and I was told I had lost all of the precious holiday photos that were on there.

A friend recommended I try and take the USB to someone who specialises in data recovery and that is the best advice I have ever taken! Paolo rang me within 24 hours of receiving my USB to tell me the good news. I could not believe he had saved them all, and for such a good price!

The professionalism and quality of service they provide is fantastic. I would recommend them as the first point of call to anyone who is serious about recovering their data.

Ann

Great service. Recovered all my files. The process was clear and informative. Was not quite willing with the price that was initially quoted but with the discounts that were available (really helps for a student) and the outcome, money well spent.

Ziata Guitars

This company, Payam, is fantastic. They recovered all my data within the week and the service was impeccable. I was well informed throughout the whole process of how my job was progressing and since this was the first time I had to use this type of data recovery service this gave me peace of mind. The technician, Wes, at Payam, was very professional and his communication with me was perfect via telephone and email answering all of my questions thoroughly. I highly recommend using Payam for data recovery as my experience with this company was excellent. They turned a potential data lost nightmare into a pleasant experience, what more can you ask. Thanks guys, great job!

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.

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

Phillip Busch

I called last week and spoke with Kevin. He was so helpful on the phone. I passed on Payam's contact details to my client to deal directly with them.

ShaikhoonGhafoor

I’m very happy with the data recovery work done. Overall, it was a great service provided and I will definitely recommend it to others.

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!

Toby Minton

They rescued my waterlogged data in no time. Great work

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.

Signworks

We were referred to Payam after our computer technician was unable to help with a hard drive that had been affected by a power surge. The team were more than helpful, keeping us updated by phone with their progress. Payam managed to recover 100% of the data we had lost and our brand new hard drive was delivered with in the week. Couldn't have been happier with the price. Fingers crossed we won't need to use their services again any time soon but we would definitely recommend them!

Jill Natasi

I was told "external hard drive devices can easily get corrupted - especially if the hard drive is not ejected correctly" - but, in error, I did this and sure enough my external drive device died!! I went to Apple store where I purchased the device. They said "Sorry, bad luck, the data is corrupted, nothing can be done about it" I was desperate. I investigated Sydney Seagate service center and I tracked down Payam data recovery at North Sydney. I took my device there and within a couple of weeks and after paying a very reasonable cost, all my data had been recovered. Wow!! They achieved the impossible and at every step of the way, they were enormously understanding of my distress and enormously helpful in getting back to being fully operational. Thank you to all at Payam!

Anh D.

This service is expensive but it is worth the money if you really need to recover your important data.

Many thanks for retrieving all photos deleted from an external hard drive. Your staff were calm and efficient in the face of great angst and retrieved a lifetime of memories. Thank you so much!

Harry Brayshaw

Thank you for your work in recovering the data on the damaged hard drive. We were pleased with the results and will recommend your service to others.

The guys at Payam know their stuff. They were able to recover crucial data from a damaged usb drive in less than 4 hours

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.

Tammy Tattam

When my hard drive died I thought I had lost everything but Payam Data Recovery, recovered & saved my stuff very grateful

After a major hard drive crash, windows wouldn't recognise the drive at all. Of course I was between making back ups at the time. Payam managed to recover all of the data on the drive, well over 300GB worth! I haven't yet found a corrupted file that they recovered. Price was very reasonable, speed was also good. Payam also kept me up to date and shipped the old drive and the recovered data to me via overnight courier. Couldn't be happier, I hope I dont need to use data recovery again, but if I do I would not hesitate to use Payam again.

Allen S.

The staff was very professional and knowledgeable. I found their reviews on google and they were very positive. They were able to recover and save my hard drive with the files on it. Thank you! Thank you!

Murray Hobson

I had a failed 2TB portable drive and required the info from it as I had not recently backed it up. I went to Payam Data Recovery who recovered all my information and installed it onto a new portable hard drive. I was kept informed during the process and everything was smooth.
I cannot recommend Payam Data Recovery strongly enough for any data recovery that you require.

Les M

If you need help to recover files or ascertain what's wrong , here is where you go , helpful , honest , i cannot say enough , these guys can help with your dumb questions too , i had mine answered! Reasonable cost too , i had to see them a second time for a similar problem with a CF card , it was looked at on the spot and we figured out that my card reader was the problem and advice was given , no charge . The guys could run a help desk if they were not too busy , they are THE experts !!! Do not go anywhere else !!!

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!!

Payam was great and recovered my data with no fuss and walked me through every step.

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

Karen Wightman

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.

Nat

Thought my old hard drive was all but lost. Payam managed to save it in an efficient inexpensive manner. Very impressed!

David Pascoe

Thank you, totally happy.

John Schaeffer

Thank you to the team of data recovery specialists at Payam. After much despair from seeking recovery services elsewhere and being told my data was unrecoverable, I sought out Payam.

Wished I’d gone there first. They were able to recover all of my irreplaceable valuable information (documents, photos, music files etc) which I thought had gone forever. Very reasonable price too. Excellent work and would definitely recommend Payam to anyone needing their valuable data recovered.

Elly Hurley

I recently had a need to use Payam Data Recovery as my Mac crashed partway through an update and my Time Machine Backup would not mount! It was panic stations all round - years of photo's, emails and other data that wasn't in Dropbox potentially erased...
Luckily I chose Payam Data Recovery to recover the data from my Time Capsule. Keith and Payam were brilliant, they were quietly confident from the outset they could get my data back, and they did. Not only did they provide me with all the data in folders I could use, they were able to get the SparseBundle onto another disk - so I effectively got all of my data back. I would highly recommend this company for any data recovery you need. They are professional and understanding of the emotional needs of someone that's facing a potential disaster. Thank you Payam and Keith, so pleased to have found you

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.

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.

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.

Jenny Stern

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

Jeremy Shellim

Quick fast and efficient. Expensive but they are the data experts and I reckon if they can't recover your data, no one can

When you first start researching data recovery it can be pretty scary. My external hard drive with 5 years worth of the whole family's photos and backups couldn't be read. I found Payam with a simple Google and liked both the location and testimonials. I sent some screen shots in and then gave Craig a call. Perfectly explained, no data - no charge, could give an exact quote on inspection. I took it in, gave the go-ahead and a few days later (and that was the economy service) I had an email with a list of the files recovered. I now have all of my files for about an 8th of the price of printing all the photos. The service reminded me of how great service should be. Many Thanks....

Sending a hard drive with physical damage to attempt data recovery of a number of important files. They were completely successful in recovery of the requested data. And even before the job began were able to answer questions pertaining to their process and job information.

And excellent and fast service with amazing communication.

Highly recommended for your similar needs.

Wife's phone died without any warning and she had not had time backup photos. Luckily Payam were able to recover them all. Not the cheapest service, but what price can you put on memories? They retrieved 27GB of data, over 14,000 photos and 250 videos. Made a very happy wife when she got the backup drive Christmas morning. Staff were very polite.
Only one very small area of improvement for them would be to provide a little more comms. We chose the Economy Service (1-2 weeks) that took 3.5 weeks. Acknowledging that website states times subject to change, however there was no comms from them, it was only when I chased status updates.
