We had a recent hard drive crash on a Linux Server. The data contained images from a weather station located in a remote part of Papua New Guinea for the past 18 months. Kevin and his team were most helpful in recovering the data in full, apart from the minor hiccup where our hard drive caused their PC to start smoking too ! Very professional.

Because of this company, I was able to retrieve priceless videos & photos from my iPhone 5S, which was damaged from salt water contact. I took it to them several months after the water incident and they were still able to recover everything. Their service was top notch and I'd highly recommend their service!

WD My passport USB fell off my table last month. After 2 PC repair shops could not help, I called WD support in the USA and they told me to go to Payam. They saved everything for me for only $275. Very helpful and friendly service, Thanks for your help!

Very helpful professional service thank you

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.

Kane from Payam Brisbane was great and easy to deal with. They definitely know what they are doing and have all the advanced tools and fancy software which can talk to the drive's firmware directly to recover nearly any faulty drive. In our case our sata hard drive would turn off during data recovery with r-studio and reply with CRC errors. They managed to recover all the data on it and clone it 1:1 to a new drive that was bootable.
Great job, reasonable pricing. And the person you talk to is actually the person who does the recovery so you don't talk to a clueless front desk person. They are definitely one of the best in their field and this is coming from an IT specialist with 20 years experience.

Payam recovered lost information without any fuss, the staff were efficient and professional and kept me informed as to total cost and progress. I would recommend Payam to as the data recover solution to any of my friends and colleagues.

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.

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.

Payam and the team brought my dead drive back to life and at a very reasonable price! Friendly, straight-forward and recovered all of my data in the time frame they promised.
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
Kenneth George
I have used Payam's services for years and I have never been disappointed.

My iPhone stopped working for no reason. Unfortunately, I had not backed it up - the phone contained photos of my twins. I was heartbroken, I thought I would never see those photos again. Payam successfully recovered my data! I will forever be grateful. Thank you so much payam

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 🙂
David Joscelyne
All went extremely well with the recovery which allowed me to step right back into the position I was in before the big CRASH!
Being absolutely fearful of losing all my data, the reassurance in recovery was very satisfying. Thanks for the service.
Brad Flowers
Excellent fast and friendly help – life saving

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.
Amy Milburn
Super happy with the experience I've had with Payam data recovery. After years of unrealistic quotes and many people telling me my data could not be recovered I finally have my data back! I would highly recommend Payam to all my family and friends!
Billy Lewis
Fast as, all my data back and the cheapest I could find! Also the student discount was super handy. Cheers Payam

Great Service, Best Price. My external hard drive stopped working which I was using to backup my work and family photos for years! I searched google for data recovery companies and Payam's website was by far the most helpful, their services were the best priced and the location was perfect. So I rang Craig and he said to bring in the drive for assessment. After bringing it in I got a mail from Craig the same day to say what the damage was and to confirm the quote. Now that's service, I was really impressed. Payam recovered all my data within the agreed time. You can't ask for more than that. I would highly recommend Payam to anyone. Thanks again.
Penelope Harmon
Payam provided an amazing service. My hard drive had some extremely important documents on there which had not been backed up recently and it would be very stressful if I lost them. They kept me informed throughout the process, and in the end recovered all of the data I needed. They were very professional and did an amazing job. Thanks Payam!

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.

got all our business' data back - yay! can't ask for more than that.

Brilliant Service! Rescued precious data I thought was gone for ever!

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!!!!!
James Cowan
After being quoted by a competitor almost double the price I decided to give these guys a go. Not only was I blown away by the helpful advice shown by the staff I was also relieved to hear that it was going to cost a fraction of the price original stated. These guys are the real deal! Unfortunately in this type of business there are many sharks that are eager to take advantage of people in a compromising position. I implore people to please shop around before rushing into anything and these guys for myself were by far the most helpful and best value for money. I highly recommend these people to anyone who has found themselves in the terribly difficult situation of losing valuable data.

Payam is an excellent service for recovery of data with damaged devices. The staff are professional and service is prompt . The establishment Is geared to customer satisfaction
Michael Crichton
I called every data recovery company in town when my laptop hard drive crashed, I spoke with the guys at Payam on the phone and he was so helpful. In person they explained everything to men and showed me their prices on their web site. Great customer service and clear upfront prices.
I thought four years of work, and thousands of beloved photos, had gone down the drain when my hard drive stopped working. I contacted Payam and was immediately at ease. He is highly professional and has the knowledge and confidence to provide a realistic assessment of the situation and yet make you feel positive knowing that whatever can be done will be done. With many corrupt sectors – Payam and his team certainly had their work cut out for them. Payam and his team came through for me, as I’m sure he has for many many others. Thanks Payam and team! - Paul
Carolyn Nankervis
Thank u Payam guys & girls!!! The successful recovery of my treasured & priceless photos was very special. Thanks soooo much.

My hard drive fell off a desk last week. After talking to 2 other data recovery labs - Payam was the most helpful on the phone. They were the only company who gave me a fixed price and were recommended by Western Digital in New Zealand.
Sandor Kovacs
After others had a go at recovery of my hard drive but failed I was very nervous, a lifetime of memories could be lost, Payam's reputation gave me some comfort but the feeling when I saw the first line of their email gave me much elation, We have some good news for you... I guess it can't work every time but it sure worked for me where others failed. Highly recommend them to recover your treasures if you are in the unfortunate situation I found myself in.

After a new Samsung 850 Pro SSD got corrupted while I was downloading files to my Mac, Craig and Vinh in Melbourne came to the rescue and recovered 340GB worth of files that I thought I'd lost forever. It was an absolute life saver as these were critical files needed for a video job I'd just completed for an important client and the thought of a reshoot was not something I really wanted to contemplate. The knowledge and customer service was exceptional. I'd recommend Payam in a heartbeat
Stephen Pittman
Given the nature of my requirements – family photos/personal files that weren’t time sensitive, but absolutely precious – I am very happy with the result, which was a 99.8% recovery – AWESOME!
Amylee Goodman
Couldn't recommend highly enough amazing results always informing you on the process and just amazing with customer service
Emma Burnard
Very professional and efficient. They recovered important data that other shops could not do
Andrew Stewart
After going to other places had a great experience with this company and got regular updates on what was happening and also got all the data back which is fabulous
Bruce Rea
It was with great relief that Payam Data Recovery were able to recover in excess of 95% of the data on my hard drive. I opted for the cheaper method of waiting but I was impressed with the service given.
Amy Favreau
I couldn't be happier with the work Payam done! I thought I had lost my photos forever and Payam data recovery brought every one of them back!

Your services 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!

All my personal & work files (6 years worth) were all on my external hard drive, that is until my partner accidentally dropped it. When I went to use it I was not able to read, copy, delete or add files, plus the hard drive was making strange noises which I knew was not good news. I did some research on data recovery companies and called five in Melbourne, PAYAM had the best price and was conveniently located it was also a company whose brand I recognised. Craig was not only able to save 98% of my data but he also kindly spent time explaining everything I needed to know about external hard drives, backup drives etc. – our chat at his office lasted an hour and gave me plenty of useful information to ensure I did not lose my data again. I now have two external hard drives, one which I use regularly and one purely as my backup. Thank you Craig for your exceptional customer service and for saving all my data. Cheers

Thanks Craig Nevans at PAYAM Data Recovery Pty Ltd. I recently thought I had lost a lot of memories (photos) when the external hard drive I was using crashed. I thought I had backed up the photos but when I looked to find the backups I realised that they were not there. I was completely devastated, I thought I had lost the photos of grandchildren, friends, holidays. Hundreds of memories and photos that could not be replaced. I searched the web and found PAYAM in Melbourne. With my hard drive in hand, my husband, daughter and I drove to Melbourne. There at PAYAM we were greeted by the most wonderful person Craig Nevans, the customer service manager. Straight away Craig set our minds at ease, he was sympathetic,very supportive and completely understood our plight. Craig was wonderful to deal with. He didn't promise the world or that he could recover the data, however we went back home feeling very positive. As promised Craig emailed a few days later, they could recover the data at a very affordable price. A second email followed in a few days to advise they had recovered the data and they would, if we liked, ship the recovered data back to us on a well priced new hard drive, thus avoiding another trip to Melbourne. We were ecstatic to receive this email. I have no hesitation in recommending PAYAM to anyone looking for data recovery. They are the best in their field and wonderful people. If your hard drive crashes, don't panic contact PAYAM and talk to Craig and the team. Thanks again Craig

I am happy with the overall service and definitely will use again and recommend to people who need the service.

Lost photos of a holiday broke my daughter's heart. I formatted the picture card thinking the photos were on her computer. I was given Payam's number and Kevin retrieved the photos. Kevin was so professional and caring. Thank you so much.
