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.

They rescued my waterlogged data in no time. Great work

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.

That desperate sinking feeling of your hard drive failing can spoil your whole day. Thanks to Payam within a few days I had all my data recovered and back in my new computer.

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.

Payam is a magician! My network (along with my attached hard drive) got fried in a storm whilst I was away on holidays. I consulted friends that worked in IT and even paid a computer store check my hard drive out and they told me that I'd have to pay them again for a quote to have it looked at by a forensic mob. I did my own investigative work and found Payam through Google. I read all the other reviews, checked out the website and compared it to others I had found. I even mystery shopped several companies by calling over the phone and asking Qs about their services and costs to recover the data. I chose to use Payam and I agree with the professionalism and response times reported in the previous reviews. In the end I got my data and photos copied onto a new hard drive and it cost much less than what some other companies were quoting (try $1K + interstate registered postage!). I can't thank Payam and his team enough and thoroughly recommend them for data recovery services (although I hope not to have to go through the experience again!). Extremely happy 🙂

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

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.

I can not thank these guys enough!! i was travelling overseas with a group of friends taking photos on my iphone. Sadly one of my friends lost his life overseas and on the second last day my iphone hardware malfunctioned and my phone turned into a brick, losing all our memories. i went to a shop who said it wasn't their problem and i will never get my data back. THANKFULLY for the team at PAYAM Data recovery i was able to get back all of my pictures and nearly all the data was recovered from my phone. meant so much to me, such as lovely company always kept me up to date.
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!!
Justine
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.
Mitch Graham
The staff was friendly and very professional. The most amazing part is they delivered as promised.
Stephen Schilg
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!

I was extremely happy with the work you did for me. Your prompt service and communications about what you were doing were excellent. You saved all my photos,Thank you.
After my laptop suffered death by drowning I was scared that I had lost all my work files. Advertisements, stock control forms, rosters, financial records, everything was kept on there. A family member recommended PAYAM as they had done some work for him and he was very impressed. I went In and spoke the them and they had a look for me. That day I had a response that they could get my data back no problems, and for a great price. Their service was very prompt and professional with clear communication throughout the whole operation.I definitely recommend PAYAM for data recovery services and they will be the first that I turn to if it ever happens again. Thanks guys.

Rohan, Paolo, Greg, Stephen,
Thank you for the excellent work. I can't thank you guys enough for recovering all my irreplaceable data. Appreciate your prompt reply and communication on every step of the way. Discounts that was offered were immensely helpful financially.
Will definitely recommend you guys if anyone I know needs data recovery.
Melanie Avion
Brilliant Service! Rescued precious data I thought was gone for ever!
Nikki Braybrook
I was really happy with your service, you not only retrieved all the lost data, you made the whole process really easy and in super quick time! I would not hesitate to recommend you.
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!
Victoria – Melbourne
A great service. We had told by another place (who had been otherwise really helpful at repairing the computer) that they could not retrieve the data. Craig at Payam not only recovered it all but then was so helpful at helping us reload it onto our new system. Very grateful for their service.
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.
James Gilbert
I am a reseller of this company. They do free quotes and have always gotten my clients data back

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 Centres 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 & enormously helpful in getting back to being fully operational. Thank You to all at Payam!
Mark Whitford
My lacie external hard disk drive crashed for no explicable reason after 2 years of constant use. Having an old laptop, i was using the lacie as primary data storage space. So it had all the photos of my two year old from birth to present. i backed it up 6 months ago to a new WD external drive, but 6 months is a lot of photos. I googled lacie drive data retrieval and saw Payam was in brisbane. The cost range was $250 to $2500 so i was terrified that my problem might turn out to be a tough one. i called the guys on monday and took it in. I didn't have to pay anything up front. By thursday they gave me the news that yes full data retrieval was likely. The cost was only going to be $250 for their regular service!!! i was wrapped. They said regular meant that they would get to it when they could so it could be a couple of weeks (which didn't worry me). the guys turned it around in a couple of days and i dropped in a new HDD for them to load it up and away i went. 1 very happy customer.
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++++!!
Jessica Hoffman
Having had a near panic attack when my Lacie hard drive decided to crash and burn with unknown data on it. I was very happy when guys at Payam Data Recovery said "No worries" and recovered it all. Fantastic service, highly recommended!
Bennie Gordon
When my Intel SSD stopped working after it went to sleep one day, I googled data recovery and Payam were the first to get back to me. They recovered everything for $600. Worth every cent. Easy to deal with.

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.
Greg Humphries
Great service retrieved photos from birth of our twins, saved my life.
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.
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.
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.

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.
David Pascoe
Thank you, totally happy.
Su Johnson
Very happy with Payam’s services. Tried the local IT shop, useless! Next time will go straight to Payam.
Blair Harkness
Very happy with the service and result I received from the Auckland office of Payam. Very pleasant staff too. Fairly expensive, but a lot of time was involved, and I bought a new drive at a good price.
Xodotodo
Excellent and prompt service. Not only were they great with my data and recovered all of it - they have great customer service and were always friendly and knowledgeable. From the very beginning I felt like I was in the right hands, and that they were dealing with me in an honest and professional manner.
Matthew Cooley
When a SSD Hard Drive fails it is always a concern about whether data will be recoverable or not - luckily Payam were able to get all of our required files back off the drive, and at a very good price. Communication along the way was spot on also, would definitely recommend them!
Craig Gill
Payam did what I needed in good time and with good communication. Thank you.
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.
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!
David Fin
Paolo was very helpful in getting ALL of my data back. A great relief. Although I had a backup I was unsure how up to date it was, so getting everything was an unexpected bonus. I was pleased that my local computer specialist admitted that he was unable to fix the problem and recommended PAYAM. It was good to be kept informed of progress. An added bonus was their service for completely destroying the 'dead' hard disk free of charge, if I required. I would have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to others.
Angela Giagodi
Great service! Payam data not only recovered all critical data possible but they also kept us updated with progress along the way. Thanks - have already recommended you to a friend.
After my hard drive had crashed i initially thought the recovery of lost data would come easy, but soon found out this was not the case. after months of failed attempts and non return phone calls and emails from some other company's i heart about payam data recovery through the radio. the one company i should have dealt with from the beginning, the service and the knowledge the company showed me was great. i am now happy to have 100% of my data recovered and a company i know i can trust if anything had to happen in the future.
Talitha Maher
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!
Emma B
Excellent experience with Payam. They recovered data for me that no one else could. Definitely worth it to recover years of lost photos. Thank you!
