I had a Seagate drive that was a replacement for a different Seagate drive that failed under warranty, also fail after less than a year. I immediately unplugged it, and did some websearching and found PAYAM Data Recovery. I gave them a call, brought my drive down. Turned out the heads had crashed, and it was sent to "The Clean Room" . As the data on it wasn't desperately needed, but I did want it recovered, I took the slow option. Upon examination, it was the heads, but the platters were undamaged. PAYAM reconstructed the drive and was able to recover ALL the data and put it on a brand new drive.
When I had a bit of confusion about payment/return method, it was explained, I paid and the drive was back to me 4 days after
I have a few static glitches on very few of the media files, but they work. Now, I know not all data recovery jobs have this great of an outcome, but considering what the cost of the loss of data would have been, in time and money to rebuild, it was well worth the cost.
As for "slow" method, my drive was fixed in under a month and returned. Definitely recommend PAYAM.

Great price, great service, great business! My work external drive died and Payam recovered all my files and put them onto a new drive for a fraction of the cost I was quoted elsewhere. I took the new drive back to work and spent a day updating and sorting all my job files on the drive. I then left it with another unit within my workplace for them to backup the files to a server. I was totally shattered when they dropped the new drive and stuffed it. I took it back to Payam and they fixed the drive for free. Awesome service! Thanks for your help guys.

After being told by two other technicians that there was no hope... Payam found a way!!! Paolo you must be acknowledge for your tenacious will to find a solution! I now have precious photos of my children and most recently of my newborn, which I thought I had lost forever... Words cannot explain my gratitude and will be forever grateful!!

The staff was very good and understanding.
Ameera Jade Gorman
Super friendly staff (Vinh) and turned an unpleasant task into an easy, stress-free experience. Would definitely recommend!
Anthony Stokes
I was so relieved when I found out you retrieved all the data to get my business up & running again.
I was recommended to you by Phillip Chen from Solutions 4, as he has referred others to you always with a positive outcome. I will not hesitate to use your service again if needed & will not hesitate to refer you to others.
Thank you again, you saved me!

Very professional outfit. Kept me informed, were prompt in getting back to me and it seems like they enjoy what they do. very satisfied with their service and work.
I will definitely recommend them to anyone that needs their data recovered from dead or defective disks.
Ian Jenkins
Just to let you know that my daughter was very happy with the data retrieval from her broken USB thumb drive. She said that at least 98% of the files were OK. There were a small number that were corrupted, most likely the ones that were open at the time that the computer and USB fell on the floor.
She has now made several back-ups! and said to thank you very much. She is very grateful.
Greg Humphries
Great service retrieved photos from birth of our twins, saved my life.
Zane AL Said
We lost a great deal of personal family data on an external drive recently. I shopped around for the best price and decided to give Payam a go. The data was recovered faster than I'd expected and for the amount quoted. Better still, I received a call several weeks later to confirm if I was confident that the data recovered was complete and correct.
David Doley
I was completely happy with the service you provided recently in recovering data from my hard drive. All the files were accessible and in good order. Thanks again for a job well done.
Jye
I was very impressed with the service you offered - and in particular your communication throughout the process. You did a great job and recovered all the data from a few drives of valuable information at a price that pales in comparison to the value of the data recovered.
Debra Schroeder
Hi, I went to access some photos from my Samsung S5 and they had disappeared. There were so many of my grandchildren and I was devastated. I did some research and found Payam, and as they were in Adelaide decided to give them a go, didn't have anything to lose and all to gain. Fabulous, Wes was great, all photos recovered and I am so very happy. Will, and have already recommended you guys to anyone who will listen
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.

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.
Kenneth George
I have used Payam's services for years and I have never been disappointed.
Teddy Clune
When I first realized that I had lost all of my photos on the camera memory card I was devastated. Payam Data recovery were professional, fast and delivered exactly what they said and more. I have been telling all my friend about this service.
Glen
Great service. Recovered entire job lost on a failed CF card with fast turnaround. Would happily recommend Payam Data Recovery services
Brad Will
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!

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 🙂

Our 4 drive business storage device had been unsuccessfully backing up for over 6 months (without our knowledge). Upon a second drive failing we finally became aware of the issue. With the failure of the second drive, access to all server information was unavailable.
With six months of valuable information no longer available we put our trust and hopes in Payam Data Recovery. We invested in a quick turnaround and were not disappointed. We are now back on track with all information recovered. Thank you for saving our bacon!!!
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.
Craig Lawton
This data recovery completed was for our business’s server. So far it appears to have been 100% successful. Many thanks for saving us months of recovery time.
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.

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!
Tania Pickering
“I was really happy. I will recommend you guys!
Tony B
Between Xmas and New Year the hard drive failed on my desktop pc and unfortunately I forgot to backup some very important business files. I contacted Payam and got a great quote and they were able to recover 100% of my data-all in less than a week of dropping the hard drive off. Very happy with the service provided by Kane-look no further if this happen to you-very professional service.
Ashleigh Roome
Thanks for retrieving my holiday photos!
Harpreet
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.
Jane Harvey
Thank you very much for your assistance – I was very happy with your service.
David Pascoe

Payam did what I needed in good time and with good communication. Thank you.
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!
Mike Quigley
In this age of diminishing service and the usual response... Computer says no.. isn't it refreshing to find someone who is really helpful. I just wanted to say how absolutely blown away I was by Craigs help. His commitment to finding a solution to my backup problems was brilliant. I cannot thank him and Payam enough. Brilliant all thanks to Craig. Craig and Payam is a service I can definitely recommend. 10/10 Many Thanks.
Lynette Lamont
Fantastic service - very professional, helpful and friendly ... and they retrieved my data!!!

My hard drive with all my important personal photos and videos just didn't boot up one day when I plugged it in, so I took it to a small computer shop a friend said did data recovery quite cheap, I thought if they had no luck I'd go to one of the bigger places. BAD IDEA! The first place couldn't recover anything and said most likely all my data was lost and as a last resort I could try Payam Data Recovery as they were the best. When I took it to Payam and saw Paolo, it turned out the first place I'd tried had actually damaged my drive further! I was devastated, expecting there was no chance of recovery. Within 10 days Paolo rang me back to let me know they had recovered everything! AMAZING! I was thrilled. I doubt many other places could've have done the job they did, they are the professionals, you can trust that they will do the best job possible. Paolo was great to deal with and I can't thank you all enough!! It's very obvious to me now to always go to the best place first and not the cheaper option. It's just not worth it. If your data is important to you - go to these guys!

I'd recently crashed my MacBook Pro and thought i had lost all data in my computer. I brought it over to Apple Store and Mac Centric, both of whom could not help me and suggested that I may not be able to retrieve my data anymore. The latter of whom however, suggested that I would need to go to a an experienced data recovery team and try my luck there. I then recalled my sister (having lost all her photos from an overseas SD card that she bought during her Europe trip) bringing her SD card to PAYAM, after many trial and errors through different data recovery team companies in Sydney. They eventually were the only ones able to retrieve her precious photos again. So i decided to take my computer to PAYAM, and within a day I received a more than reasonable quote which i was not obliged to pay a cent of unless i was 100 percent happy with their work. Not only are they an expert at data retrieval, but their customer service is excellent, which is certainly helpful when you are already distressed. PAYAM are an informative, efficient & reliable company, and i recommend them to anyone who needs their computer back on track again. Thank you so much for your help and fantastic customer care.
Sam Diep
I am happy to say that Gray Anderson, the person I dealt with from start to finish, was friendly and professional throughout the process. I was kept informed every step of the way. All the data was recovered promptly and without fuss. I would recommend Payam data recovery service to anyone who have hard-drive problem.
Nicole Attard
Fantastic job and service. Thank you!
Bruce Real
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!
Gary Reed
Once again, Payam demonstrated its technically superiority, outstandingly professionalism, and absolutely reliability. You turn a disaster into a pleasure every time. You have earned my endorsement and strong recommendation.
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!
I found Payam on the internet after my external HDD failed and my IT support at work could not help me out. Craig was very helpful and responded very quickly to my queries. After some tests, all at no charge, Craig informed me of my options. The data I required was urgent and thanks to Payam most of my data was recovered in a timely fashion, at a reasonable price with no hidden costs. I would highly recommend Payam and their services.
Dave Owens
We were very happy with the work done to retrieve the data. There was four years of company work that we desperately needed retrieved and it was done without any fuss

My business consists of many training programs which are in PPT format. Being too busy to back up files I was faced with the inevitable when I experienced a major disc crash. Many people I spoke with, both in Australia and in Hong Kong, told me that it was a lost cause to get the information back. Not Payam. They were able to recover almost all of my information and I am incredibly grateful to them for the service they offer. Lesson 1. Backup all data Lesson 2. If the situation does go snafu get in touch with Payam
I had 500+ important (to me) photos seemingly lost forever on a faulty compact flash card. My PC was requesting the card be formatted and my camera wasn't recognising it at all!
Fortunately, I located Payam Data Recovery via a Google search and after their free quote and assessment of the problem, they were able to recover every single image on the card - for a more than reasonable fee.
Recommended!

Excellent and accurate recovery. Very prompt service. 880Gb of data fully recovered from my crashed HDD.
