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.

Tori Keegan

Great service and work! Quick to respond to emails and with the recovery of my data off my hard drive. Would highly recommend and use again

Emma Burnard

Very professional and efficient. They recovered important data that other shops could not do

Anh D.

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

Alex Huang

We were superbly happy with your work, it was a job well done. We never have thought we would get our important data back until we came across your firm. The job was completed on time, on budget and nothing was lost. We can’t recommend you enough to our friends! Thank you so much for your help.

When you first start researching data recovery it can be pretty scary. My external hard drive with 5 years worth of the whole family's photos and backups couldn't be read. I found Payam with a simple Google and liked both the location and testimonials. I sent some screen shots in and then gave Craig a call. Perfectly explained, no data - no charge, could give an exact quote on inspection. I took it in, gave the go-ahead and a few days later (and that was the economy service) I had an email with a list of the files recovered. I now have all of my files for about an 8th of the price of printing all the photos. The service reminded me of how great service should be. Many Thanks....

Joseph Anthony

I love your work, it was fantastic service, and should you ever require it I will recommend you to the Pope for sainthood – you have performed miracles and resurrected my hard drive. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone with a data recovery problem.

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.

Tony Robbis

Clear, thorough and friendly communication throughout the process. They listened carefully to my needs and successfully recovered data for the lowest cost possible and in good time. Very impressive service.

Ian Mansell

Amazing service from start to end. My drive data was saved! Payam held onto the drive whist I was on holiday, then followed with a call to arrange suitable delivery on my return. I wish all companies were like this.

Our memory card decided to pack it in right at the end of our overseas holiday :S, so we tried an unnamed data recovery company who wanted several hundred $ just to attempt the recovery! We took it to Payam and we had the data recovered,copied to a huge 32gb usb and back to us in 3days for less than 1/2 of what the other place wanted! The service was top notch and we were even given a discount because we were told our card recovery was impossible, turned out the bad news was for another customer. They recovered as much as they possibly could with our seriously stuffed card, and the overall service was much better then I would have expected.

Phil Heyne

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.

Sam Heylen

One happy customer! My wife's iPhone suddenly crashed and having not been backed up in over a year we thought we had lost all of her photos, videos etc including baby photos of our 3rd child. Apple said there was nothing we could do except try a data recovery place. Payam were fantastic from whoa to go. They recovered all the data and even provided an iTunes backup of the phone. Couldn't recommend them more highly. Thanks guys

I am very pleased with the service and completed so quickly.I have already mentioned your service to friends.

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 🙂

Venessa

I had my laptop stolen and recovered by Police. When I opened it everything has been wiped out. I had a very important manuscript that I hadn't saved anywhere together with photos of my girls. Someone recommended Payam and told me they were the best. The moment I met Samantha and how she explained in simple words what had happened I knew I was in the right hands. Payam did an amazing job and I was in tears when I found out that they could recover what i was looking for. And above all is the professionalism and human touch of Samantha. I highly recommend it. Thanks PAYAM

Wendy (surname withheld)

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.

Kult Heaton

I was working onsite and a buckets of seawater was dumping on the deck above flooding my laptop, which had a lot of information necessary for my work. Payam Data Recovery, inspected the laptop and gave me a same day quote. All data was recovered. Very happy with the service though I hopefully won’t require their services again.

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.

Aaron D

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.

drli

I suddenly encountered a problem with my portable HDD which became inaccessible. I have more than 500GB very important data on it. Thanks to the help from Payam Data Recovery, I finally got all my data back. This is really professional service with perfect output. I'm very satisfied.

Stephen Todd

My hard disc crashed and I lost everything. I took it to my local computer business that I deal with and they were unable to retrieve any of the disc contents. I had not backed up the disc for the past 8 months or more and had all of my work files as well as family photo's and important emails that were lost. I sent the disc to PAYAM and they were able to retrieve all of the contents completely and at an extremely reasonable price. I had trouble retrieving one of the hidden files as I have limited knowledge in that area. I rang Kevin at PAYAM and he walked me through the steps that enabled me to access the file and retrieve the information. I found their service, advice and help to be excellent and would  highly recommend them.

Geofdecan

Great service and end result using wes at Payam. Will recommend and use again if needed!

Daniel McLoughlan

I had a failed RAID pair and a backup drive that died in the same week - the perfect storm. Payam in Sydney recovered everything for a really reasonable cost.

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

Max Joassons

Had a great experience dealing with Craig from Payam data recovery. They kept me up to date with the whole process and were very quick with there turn around. They were able to recover all my data.

LIFE SAVER- I foolishly formatted a memory card which contained the birth and first 2 weeks of pics taken of my first born baby boy. Needless to say, I was devastated and very distraught. After a quick internet search I found PAYAM Data Recovery and all the reviews were highly positive. Craig was extremely professional and honest and within 24 hours he had recovered my precious images at a very reasonable cost. Now I can share these special moments with my son when he grows up and it’s all thanks to the know-how of PAYAM. I would highly recommend them in any circumstance where their services may be required. Thanks Craig and if I could add any more stars to this rating I would…

Ziata Guitars

This company, Payam, is fantastic. They recovered all my data within the week and the service was impeccable. I was well informed throughout the whole process of how my job was progressing and since this was the first time I had to use this type of data recovery service this gave me peace of mind. The technician, Wes, at Payam, was very professional and his communication with me was perfect via telephone and email answering all of my questions thoroughly. I highly recommend using Payam for data recovery as my experience with this company was excellent. They turned a potential data lost nightmare into a pleasant experience, what more can you ask. Thanks guys, great job!

Kircy Jong

The service was extremely reliable and took the time to explain the problem as well as the solution. Very accommodating and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Annie McIntosh

Very friendly very helpful successful recovery

Kristen Sager

You only pay if they can recover your data, that was a big selling point for me. The process from start to finish was an efficient one and they managed to retrieve 100% of my data. Great website also. I will definitely use them again in the future.

Ross Smith

Further to your email regarding the data recovery job you undertook for me, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone involved. Your persistence, skill and professionalism in recovering my data is very much appreciated. While the timeframe blew out and the effort required to recover the data proved to be much more than was expected, you billed me what you initially quoted and kept me informed throughout the process. Thank you again.

I recently lost important data on an external hard drive. I was referred to Payam by my IT department. They had no prior experience of them but sent me their contact details based on website information. I received prompt and kind service. I was listened to carefully, given realistic expectations of the recovery outcome and shown empathy in relation to my frustration. The parking and access facilitated the speedy service. I did not see anyone dressed like the image in the website. I experienced a highly professional service. Strongly recommend.

Alex Okill

I had a burned out board on my desktop hard drive with 60Gb of data - they managed to repair the board and transfer to the data to my external drive and didn't do anything with the old drive until had confirmed that it was safe to do so.

I opted for the "economy" service which took around 3 weeks, however that was over the Christmas period too. Great service.

myfamily important

Excellent customer service. Reliable team. Wonderful result. Thanks

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

Ade Newie

Professional+++, good at what they do, fast efficient, delivery. Lost 10 years of family photos, everyone else said the data was unrecoverable. Highly recommended.

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!

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.

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.

Sean Brennan

Thought we’d lost 16 years’ worth of our family photo’s…so relieved and extremely happy Payam recovered 100% from our ‘dead’ HDD. Highly recommend Payam’s professional service, keeping us informed along the entire process.

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.

Ceasar Levine

I can only say wonderful things about my experience with Kevin at Payam. Kevin recovered all data on a USB drive - a happy ending. Thank you so much!

Justin

I would like to thank PAYAM Data Recovery and in particular Craig Nevans for the recent work they completed on my Dell XPS. Whilst Dell were happy to replace the faulty hard drive they couldn’t recover my data.  Payam was great in a number of areas. They kept me up to date via email and phone calls as the project progressed.  They were attentive as to what was required to be fixed – what data was important and what was not. Their follow up service after the job was completed was greatly appreciated.  The general advice received was also invaluable. The outcome was that all data could be recovered.  An excellent result.

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.

Michael Shenton

My Laptop fell off the desk onto the floor and would not reboot and the disc was unreadable. The information on my laptop was worth many millions of dollars. I was extremely pleased that Payam was able to recover all my data when a normal computer repair company was not able to assist.

Vinny Chan

Excellent fast and friendly help - life saving!

Rod Smith

I was happy to have my files retrieved. From the outset it was made clear that no guarantee of a successful outcome could be provided. I realised that I may have been wasting money committing to the attempt. Subsequently the data that was able to be retrieved was more than compensation for that which couldn’t. During the process I was kept adequately informed.

Daniel Rossi

Very happy with the work performed, all data was retrieved and able to be accessed and copied to the new drive.

The team was very friendly and willing to provide solutions that could meet my requirements and also advised of any potential costs that can occur depending upon the findings.

The process throughout was simple which was good for a task involving data that contained so much sentimental value.

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.

Absolutely amazing service from start to finish.

I logged the job through their online portal and received a clear quote very quickly. After dropping off my hard drive, they assessed it promptly and confirmed that recovery was most likely possible. The work was completed quickly, and they kept me informed every step of the way.

Once the recovery was finished, they posted the drive back to me within 24 hours. A week later, they followed up to make sure I’d checked everything and was happy with the recovered data. They also gave helpful advice on how to store and back up the files properly, and clearly explained that their copy would be securely deleted after 7 days.

Throughout the entire process, they asked all the right questions (such as which operating system I was using) to ensure everything would be returned in a usable format.

Professional, efficient, communicative, and completely faultless service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing data recovery.

Great service and very knowledgeable staff. I thought my USB drive was toast (it had a cyclical data error fault) but they were able to recover most of the information from it. For the service they provide they are very reasonable. They provide a great service which even lets you view online what files have been recovered before you need to receive the physical drive back. I highly recommend without hesitation!

I had a very positive experience with Payam. After my new LaCie Rugged Mini 2TB failed just a few days after purchase, I thought I had lost many important photos and memories. The Apple Store in Sydney recommended Payam, and I’m glad they did—the results were excellent. They managed to recover almost everything, with only a few files corrupted.
A special mention goes to Tim, the Sydney manager, who handled my case. He spent a significant amount of time helping me understand what caused the failure, walking me through the recovery process, and advising me on a solid long‑term backup strategy. Truly a legend.
The only downside is the price—it’s definitely an expensive service. But in my case, it was worth every dollar (especially as I’m now trying to recover some money from LaCie for the faulty drive).
