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.

When I needed urgent access to a couple of the retrieved files, before I had received back the retrieved data on hard disk, your staff sent me an email attachment with the 2 files I needed. They were also able to delay the deletion of your back-up copy of the retrieved data, until I had had a chance to fully check out all the retrieved data on the external hard disk.

Great service! Payam data not only recovered all critical data possible but they also kept us updated with progress along the way. Thanks - have already recommended you to a friend.
Gary Phau
Super Service! The team managed to recover ALL of the data on my two hard drives which crashed simultaneously on one weekend. Some of the data was precious photos which are irreplaceable.
Was kept up to date on what was happening and the data was recovered within the timeframe promised. The cost was very reasonable and I'm happy with every part of the process. Well done to Mark and Craig for your excellent service and professionalism - I can and will definitely be recommending your services!
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.
Julie Green
Completely recovered all files from corrupted hard drive. Very efficient service.
Phil Smith
Kane in the Brisbane office is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to. VERY happy with the Services received

I could not give a higher recommendation if I tried, I can't express how happy they've made me!! These people are incredibly friendly and professional, they are your go-to for any damage to your phone, especially water damage which is what I had, A phone that was never backed up, that wouldn't turn on and was deemed unfixable by other companies... I thought the photos and videos of my favourite people were gone forever, but no, thanks to Payam
Matthew Perovic
Great service and fast. High success rate on recoveries!

Thanks Payam you saved all my photos and music from the last 16 years. So grateful for your service as I was very upset at the thought of losing these memories. Always backup your backup

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.

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.
David Fin
Paolo was very helpful in getting ALL of my data back. A great relief. Although I had a backup I was unsure how up to date it was, so getting everything was an unexpected bonus. I was pleased that my local computer specialist admitted that he was unable to fix the problem and recommended PAYAM. It was good to be kept informed of progress. An added bonus was their service for completely destroying the 'dead' hard disk free of charge, if I required. I would have no hesitation in using them again or recommending them to others.
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!
Michelle
I was devastated when our hard drive consisting of 3000 photos, including our kids baby photos decided to pack it in. We were told by a friend in forensics, there was only a 10% chance of retrieving them. He asked a colleague for a recommendation & this colleague recommended Payam! Thank goodness! Keith & the team recovered ALL our photos & files!!! I was so overwhelmed I started crying! Thank you so very much Payam, from an eternally grateful & happy customer!

Time capsule backup seemed corrupt so rang Payam. Mark patiently assisted me, initially over the phone and then quickly helped me when I visited Payam’s offices. Excellent service.
Murray Hobson
I had a failed 2TB portable drive and required the info from it as I had not recently backed it up. I went to Payam Data Recovery who recovered all my information and installed it onto a new portable hard drive. I was kept informed during the process and everything was smooth.
I cannot recommend Payam Data Recovery strongly enough for any data recovery that you require.

I chose Payam Data Recovery based on a recommendation from a friend in the IT industry…I gotta say they were fantastic to deal with! I had an external HD fail at the most inconvenient time, as I had shifted the entire contents of my PC to it whilst I was reformatting. I had family photos, documents and everything, I thought it was all lost. I sent my HD to Payam, with an expectation of a 2 week wait, and the possibility of no result. I was wrong! About 2 days later, I got a message telling me they were about to start on my job…later that day I got a phone call telling me it was finished and all successful ….and back in my hand the next day. Hopefully…I will never have to use them again…but if I do, I’d go nowhere else.

Excellent and prompt service. Not only were they great with my data and recovered all of it - they have great customer service and were always friendly and knowledgeable. From the very beginning I felt like I was in the right hands, and that they were dealing with me in an honest and professional manner.
Adrian Chitoni
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.
After my 1Tb drive containing Videos of two weddings, Family videos and photos events and irreplaceable data died,. I nearly lost faith in computers.,(Yes this is the drive I backed up the files to). My computer supplier could not recover the files and referred me to PAYAM. Fearing the worst I spoke to Mike and Payam who impressed me with their caring and supportive suggestions offering me hope for a complete recovery of all data. Not only did they achieve this even though the hard drive was completely corrupted but they allowed me to verify that all the files were readable and that I was satisfied before payment was made. A price had been negotiated beforehand with which I was extremely satisfied with. I was contacted by Payam a few days later just to check that I was completely satisfied , with an offer to help if I had any problems. I have no hesitation in recommending their Gold Star service to anyone in similar stressful circumstances. They are Competent Diligent and Caring and as far as I am concerned they are like Intensive Care the save the data and alleviate the stress of the customer. Pardon the pun but you have nothing To looSE See You Next time Mike
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.

After spending a lot of time researching the internet on how I could recover data from my Samsung Galaxy phone I come across Payam. Payam received my phone on Wednesday and on Friday I had a call telling me they had recovered my data. I felt like crying at this moment as I was so overwhelmed. I could not have been happier with the service and it was worth every cent been able to get back my Childs baby photos back! Would recommend Payam to everyone 🙂 Thank you Payam
Jenny Stern
I highly recommend Payam Data Recovery. My iphone was 100% dead, I tried every possible process to wake it up and had been advised by a number of technicians that it was close to impossible to retrieve any data - Payam Data Recovery were successful. 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 🙂

Thank you Payam Data Recovery, thank you Kevin! The only company which is available all weekend. They recovered all of our lost data the same day. We are so happy that we got our world trip memories back. Worth every cent, five stars well deserved!
Duncan Yelds
OMG! I have just gotten back my lost files that were inadvertently deleted when we changed a mail server across recently …….. Now I was told that to recover a .pst or an .ost file was not possible ……Or highly unlikely to recover any useful data. Yes the guys at Payam data recovery had my PC for 10 days – but to look at the recovered files and see that 90% plus of my lost email data was recovered was extraordinary – yes 12 years of client communication was recovered from a hard drive and file type that shouldn’t of been recoverable.
These guys went not only an extra mile they circled the globe finding a solution to recover my lost data – the value of their work is far far outweighed by the cost of what I would of lost in client records. You would be stupid to allow anyone else to attempt to recover your precious data.
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.
Diyana Henkel
I was really happy with the results! I got all of my missing files back in one piece, which is the main thing.
Luke Jackson
I knocked over my external hard drive while in the process of backing it up. I took it to Payam and they assessed it and gave me a quote within 24 hours. Once I agreed to the quote I had all my data back within a week. Friendly polite and professional staff.
Annette Mi
After the death of my daughter, I had been all over Sydney and QLD to find someone who could recover the photos of my precious girl. The service I received was phenomenal and I would recommend them to anyone.

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
Nicole Attard
Fantastic job and service. Thank you!
Elias Hantzis

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!
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!
Denis Wade
Recently I had a Netgear ready NAS bite the dust. A software glitch broke my 4x4TB RAID 5 array and I was scared to have lost the lot. Craig from Payam took on the task of virtually recreating the RAID 5 array and was 100% successful. All of my data was intact as if nothing happened. After supplying him with a 10TB drive. All data was transferred and safely recovered within a few days. I am so glad I found this company. Craig was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Kind, friendly and very professional. Thank you so much for your service and your ongoing advice. RAID is redundancy only, I now have my photos all backed up onto multiple drives and google storage cloud. I cannot thank you enough! Kind regards
Matthew Van Zijl
My external hard drive fell off a desk and started clicking. 3 computer shops could not help. Payam Data Recovery gave me a quote in a few hours, and fixed it in 1/2 the time they quoted me. Excellent customer service! I was impressed and best of all, I got my honeymoon photos back.
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.
Colin Higginson
Very pleased with your service. Got us out of a potential huge mess.
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.
Peter Macallef
The one thing that I valued most in my business life has been Customer Service. The customer service I received from Lachlan was extremely good, I knew what was happening at all times and the retrieval of my Photos was the highest priority and successfully achieved
Tommy Neilly
I called Western Digital tech support last month after my WD MyBook stopped working. They told me to try Payam and I'm glad I did. They were so helpful and got all my documents back fast. Was cheaper than I expected and the guys were very helpful when I was panicking. Thanks a million!!
Matt Colcombe
Excellent service with a professional completion of the work. I was very grateful to have my data successfully recovered. I was kept up to date with emails and the overall communication was very good and helped me feel confident in their service. Thanks again!

I was given a 2 GB Olympus memory card purchased new on eBay. Half way through a 4 week trip to the UK, the card stopped working. When we returned home, our computer couldnt read it, so we took it to Olympus to be told it was a counterfeit card. They would have nothing to do with it. We then took it to a forensic computer specialist, who also could do nothing with the card. We came across PAYAM Data Recovery Pty Ltd when doing an internet search. I took the card to the North Sydney Office and was told I would know fairly soon if the photos were recoverable. The card was sent to the Melbourne office and Mark began working on it. He kept me informed about the progress recovering the data. It took longer than originally expected, because not only was the card a forgery, it was only 1GB, not 2 which made a difference in the recovery process. I was very impressed with Marks determination to get the photos and the fact that he would not give up. The time it took was immaterial as I just wanted my photos. I was also impressed that I would be charged a flat fee for the recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend PAYAM Data Recovery Pty Ltd to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. Kim Ker
