My digital camera packed up while on a recent overseas holiday and I could not recover some 900 plus photos. I also made things worse by mistakenly re-formatting the card. Thanks to Payam Data Recovery they systematically and thoroughly retrieved 95% of my images in high resolution thereby saving many precious memories and amazing images. It cost a little but was well worth it. Thank you

I used to work in IT. I'm the guy people (still) come to when they lose their data. I recently did a wedding on a professional SLR, recorded to a compact flash card (very reliable). Somehow, I managed to corrupt my FAT32 partition and corrupt the entire card. I only know that because PAYAM told me. I thought I had busted the hardware - the electronic internals. PAYAM are an honest company, no doubt about it. They charged very, very reasonably considering my circumstances, and they got onto the job faster than they had to. My data was successfully recovered, and my client did not even need to know I had an issue. My reputation is safe because of this company. Rock on.

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.

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. Amanda

Fantastic service - very professional, helpful and friendly ... and they retrieved my data!!!
Troy Williams
Unbelievable! Got told by apple + 5 other phone repair shops that my data was 100% uncoverable and not to waste my time with it and you guys managed to get it all back no problem! Should have gone here straight away
Joseph Vitelli
Merlin the magician would be impressed Payam’s feat of data recovery. After being told by our IT staff to trash the hard disk as recovery would not be possible, Payam excepted the challenge and delivered 100% of my data back to usable. I went from feeling that my world had ended to jubilation when I strolled through all me files- thank you so much!

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!

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

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.
Ned Farhat
Outstanding work time and again, no matter how complex the situation. Always keen to work with me on urgent requirements and deliver a quality outcome. Would never recommend anyone else.
Maryanne Blackman
Just wanted to say thank you for retrieving my data from a very broken USB stick. It had a lot of important information which I would have been lost without.
The whole process was easy and I really appreciated all of your help. I will definitely let others know about the service. Thank you again!

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.
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
Kevin Lam
I have used Payam in the past and again more recently and it has been a very pleasant experience on all occasions.
They are great at what they do and provide efficient and friendly service.
I would definitely use them again if the need arises and highly recommend them to anyone interested in their services, you will not be disappointed.
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.
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!
Cris Lovelace
I work for a big a bank (not allowed to publish the name) and the only company we trust is Payam Data Recovery. The guys in IT said they saved us a few times when we had a server crash so when my personal external hard drive fell off my desk and hit the ground really hard - I took it to Payam to have a look. The ground was - it was not as bad as I had thought. They got my photos back in about 2 days and it cost $275. I was expecting it to cost $1500+. Really friendly too from the guy at the reception desk - forgot his name, I think it was Mick
Holly McNamara
After a trip to Italy for my 1st overseas holiday my CF memory card suddenly stopped working. Payam got over 4000 of my photos back for me after the manufacturer's tech support told me nobody could help and to buy a new one. I'm so happy they could help! Thank you so much!
Nicole Attard
Fantastic job and service. Thank you!
Adrien Lang
Very happy with the service. Just keep doing what you are doing. It’s great.

I have used Payam's services for years and I have never been disappointed.

I recently moved states and regrettably I didn't backup my HDD, thankfully Payam was around to recover what I thought was lost, double thumbs up for sure and if I ever have the trouble again I'll be back for the excellent service and great people at Payam Brisbane!
Emilyy
I cannot 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
Raven V.
I couldn't be happier with the service I got from Payam. I saw 4 different companies before them who told me they would not be able to retrieve my lost photos. I was very distraught as I had just been on my first overseas holiday. Payam were able to get every single photo back. I would recommend them to everyone!

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 !!!
Joanne Hansen
I am happy to say that Payam saved the day for me and I would recommend them anytime. They managed to retrieve data from a broken hard drive from my new video camera which stopped working half way through my son's international sporting competition and o/s holiday. I was told by others it probably could not be done but Payam managed to get most of it off for me. They were extremely efficient and kept in contact with me even after I had the recovery disc to make sure it was OK.
Kane Mcervale
My company was recently unfortunate enough to have one of our hard disks fail. Unfortunately, this caused our back up drive to corrupt also, and the result was a loss of months of work. Mark and the team at PAYAM successfully retrieved ALL of our precious data, and provided top-notch service along the way. I was thrilled (and relieved) with the result. Thanks for your patience and attention to detail guys
Steve G
The guys at Payam know their stuff. They were able to recover crucial data from a damaged usb drive in less than 4 hours
Paul Julian
It took a little time, but every moment was worth it. They were very professional and kept me posted along the line as to what was happening. Recovered all my data, allowed me to pay over instalments. Took a bad situation I created and made it better. Highly recommend for data recovery, these guys know their stuff.
Kathy Perry
The staff was very good and understanding.

What can I say about Payam. Excellent, fantastic, specialized in their field. These are few that come to mind. This is the second time I have called upon their services and once again they have proved why they are a leading data recovery business. They have knowledge and expertise to explain why the hard drive had failed and the recovery of the lost files is second to none. Once again thank you for your work. I think this time I will take your advice and do a backup just in case. Thanks Keith.
Sharon Roberts
I was extremely happy with all aspects of Payam Data Recovery. From the 1st phone conversation to receiving my recovered data. Kane went above and beyond in answering all my questions, and even ran through future backup procedures and appropriate dealings with External Hard Disk Drives. Definitely a happy customer. Thanks heaps guys.
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!!
Matthew Scowcroft
We were very happy. The quote for the work was realistic and it was done in the timeframe estimated. We have all our data and we’re happy with the results.
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.
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.
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.

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 🙂
Eddy Hartnet
We thought we'd never see our photos again. We don't regret paying the money. We should recommend Payam to others and we are pleased that the job was done very quickly too.
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!
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.
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

USB flash drive crushing, Payam data recovery to the rescue. Good job guys!
Craig Gill
Payam did what I needed in good time and with good communication. Thank you.
Liz Pemberton
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!
Steven Patterson
I was very happy with the support and service provided by PAYAM in Perth.
Updates on the progress were consistent and provided progress of the work being done. I even received an email apologising for the job taking longer than normal, are rare customer service you see these days. I’m happy to point all clients to PAYAM for data recovery jobs.
Frederick Palmer
Three other data recovery experts failed to repair my SD memory card but Payam was able to do a chip off recovery which nobody else tried and they got all of my honey moon photos back. My wife and I will never forget you - you are amazing

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
