Your work was prompt, efficient and achieved 100% recovery. Excellent work and excellent service.

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!

Doug Smith

Excellent work achieved without delay.  I thank you.

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 🙂

Losing our overseas holiday photos was devastating. Finding Payam data Recovery in Brisbane, who recovered every photo, was an absolute "God send". A million grateful thanks Guys. well Done!

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!

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.

My RAID-5 Server crashed, 2 drives had were clicking. I sent this to 3 other data recovery companies (1 in North Sydney, 1 in Melbourne and the last was a global firm in QLD). None of them could recover the data, after 3 months i had lost all hope. I was heard an Ad for Payam Data Recovery on Radio. Their ad said 'nothing is impossible!'. After 2 days, they recovered all of my data. I could not believe it. It cost me only $800 (the other companies quoted $2,500-$7,000 which i actually did approved all 3 quotes as i was desperate but none of them could fix the problem! I got all my MYOB accounting files, outlook pst email files and family photos back. Next time i'll go to Payam 1st! Cheaper and better than the other companies that were just full of crap! Very friendly service, good customer service is hard to find - and their service was flawless! I am very happy, they were better, faster and cheaper than other companies. Well done. I'll be your walking 'word of mouth' billboard for the rest of my life. Thank you for saving my business!

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

Rebecca Freiberg

I was very happy with the data recovery work performed!

AJ

I called on Payam after I had accidentally reformatted my windows XP computer hard drive and loaded on a Linux partition. WIth thousands of vital files lost I immediately sought quotes from a number of data recovery firms in operating in Brisbane. Payam were the first to respond to my email enquiry and through their email and subsequent phone call gave me the confidence to proceed with them for the difficult recovery task. At all times the Payam staff were very courteous and professional in their dealings with me and were ably to recover virtually all the required data. I have no hesitation in recommending Payam for your data recovery needs.

Aaron Hare

PAYAM has again recovered my files and work history within the time frame that i needed them back. I would recommend this service to anyone who thinks that their files are lost forever. Payam's knowledge and professional service make a distressing occurrence a walk in the park. Cheers Payam.

Verity Coates

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.

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.

Peter Reidy

Excellent service, kept me up to date along the process. Absolutely no pressure to pay unless satisfied. I had wiped nearly 1000's photos from my Eurotrip and they were able to recover the majority.. very glad I decided to get their help.

Kenneth George

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

Walker Luciani

I was happy with all aspect of the service

Taleen M

I recently lost all of my photos off my second internal hard drive after having a DVD drive installed in 2 of my computers by a well known company. A friend in the computer industry recommended that I take my computer directly to Payam. I went over that afternoon and spoke to Paul. He went through all the options and prices available to me for the recovery. Although I had gone late in the day, Paul rang me the next day with information on the hard drive. The previous company had not only destroyed my photos but had mixed up my hard drives and connections between the 2 computers they were dealing with. It took a while to trace back where the mix-up occurred but with Paul's help I finally figured it out and I was able to get the correct drive to him for repair. I ended up with all of my photos back and all the hard drives and connections in the right location. Payam only charged me for the recovery of the damaged disk throughout this whole complicated process. Paul then rang to make sure that I had all the correct information. Many thanks to Paul for all of his help. I always appreciate great customer service and I got it by the bucket loads at Payam.

Shane Anderson

Payam recovered 100% of some crucial footage for our film shoot that was next to impossible to reshoot for our feature film project.

Total professionalism, great pricing and superb communication, if you need data recovery services, go to these guys first!

Sarah Hidayati

I am surprised to see how you recover the data and the good communication provided. Initially, I though the data would lost anyway.

Keep up the good work guys.

Emilyy_246

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.

Stephen Brewer

Successfully unlocked my old HTC phone. So happy old photos were recovered. Service is very quick and price is reasonable. Will definitely use your company again when needed.

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.

Aya Yamashita

I was super happy about my data recovery being done early this year. Kevin was very helpful and gave me a lot of advice. Thank you so much!

After a water damage incident that all but destroyed my laptop, I was in a complete panic as to what to do.  I was in the middle of writing a postgraduate thesis and feared that I had lost it all, along with with all my photos, research and other various projects I had been working on for the past four years.  I was referred to Payam Data Recovery by an Apple technician, and to my absolute delight (and relief!) they were able to retrieve just about everything off my hard drive!  What is more, they were constantly in touch with me throughout the process with quotes, updates and general courtesy calls.  I'm dedicating my degree to them!  Thanks guys!

S Salgo

My data was was lost midnight Thursday night, by Friday lunchtime we had tried everything to regain the media and failed. Then we contacted Payam, we got honest evaluation of the drives within 3 hours of delivering our black box. Payam and Mike then gave us a timetable of when we could expect the box back. To say that we were desperate was an understatement. We were given undertakings on feedback and return of the drives and every single one was met. We received the drives back 5 days later not bad when you have nearly 4tb of Data. We were back editing within 2 hours of return of the material. Great Job and Great service thank you for being as good as you word

????

I got 100% of the data for 15 years from my broken HDD here. Thank you!

David Kinder

I found that the service I received was better than expected. In fact, it was exceptional. I will certainly recommend you to anyone who may require this service.

Dayle M.

I thought I had lost all my photos off my phone, some with such important personal memories and totally irreplaceable.Payam staff did such an amazing job and retrieved my photos.The compassion and thoughtfulness I was treated with through this whole procedure was exemplary and I would never hesitate to recommend Payam.

Sandra Chung

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.

Brendan Cheong

I contacted several different data recovery companies when my Raid 0 array failed. Payam responded the quickest, and not only that, provided me with a range of price options. Their lowest cost option was very competitive and quoted an expected completion time of 4 weeks.

I chose their lowest cost option as I was not in any hurry, but as it turned out, Payam recovered 100% of my data in under 10 days anyway. Communication from Payam was excellent, and I was regularly kept updated of their progress and expected completion time. Their staff was friendly and professional at all times.

I found Payam to be very knowledgeable, experienced, and above all, flexible and very customer centric. I have no reservations in recommending them to anyone

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.

Arshin Zaman

The service was great, and all my data was recovered very quickly. Would definitely recommend to people!

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 🙂

Johann Kelaart

Our hard drive went to sleep one day and low and behold we had no back-up. I took the drive to a local IT shop who advised the hard drive was corrupted and he did not have the technology to recover. Without hesitation he said he was confident Mark from Payam was required. Payam were so professional in their clear communication, likelihood of success and keeping me informed all the way. It took a solid 3 weeks but in the end all data was recovered. We are so grateful for this professional service and the care taken to recover all data from a seemingly dead drive. I am not a technical person, but I know it was a difficult job, but well worth the wait. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark at Payam, but the first recommendation is - BACK UP YOUR DATA!!!

Dan Wright

Very easy to deal with and reliable company. All my work was quoted quickly and accurately, no surprises at the end of the job and they were able to get all of my data back from some very old hard drives. Highly recommend using their services.

Hui T

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.

KishanGoonniah

I was very happy with the service provided from the free and fast assessment to the total restoration of my data on time and at a great price.

FMSGCA

The details for PAYAM were forwarded to me after my hard drive had crashed on my Sony Vaio workhorse. I took it to Craig at PAYAM and inside two weeks, they had found everything. It was super! It was appreciated and the money it cost, was worthwhile.....more than worthwhile. Thank you very, very much!!!

I couldn’t turn my laptop on, or reboot it, and therefore I couldn’t access data or files. There’s more: I didn’t have any backup, and I was afraid I would lose all the work done in one year of my PhD. The reason was a hardware failure with the logic board. Within a few days, the Payam Data Recovery company helped me access and save all my data. They were reliable, fast and super efficient. I would highly recommend them!

I recently lost access to all the files on my SD card and feared they were gone for good. Thankfully, the team at Payam Data Recovery was able to recover everything! The entire process was smooth from start to finish. Their communication was clear and prompt, the service was friendly and professional, and everything was handled efficiently. Highly recommended if you're ever in a similar situation!

Service was quick and true to what they say online. They were able to retrieve my files and transfer them to a new hard drive efficiently. The price is a bit high, but otherwise I am extremely thankful for them saving my personal photos and videos.
