Absolutely brilliant. Gray at the Perth office is a lifesaver. Quick quote , quick service. Walked in with tears as my whole world crashed on an external hard drive and walked out with a smile. Highly recommend this company.

Vangie Taylor

They are very honest and responsive, and the cost was very fair. I'm glad that I took my very important hard drive to them.

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.

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

Max Rarates

I was so glad my data was all good once I got it back from Payam, Thank you for retrieving my data!

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!

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.

Mitch Graham

The staff was friendly and very professional. The most amazing part is they delivered as promised.

Grant Molik

The work you did was amazing and I can’t thank you enough, If it wasn’t for you guys I wouldn’t have valuable photos. Appreciate it a lot.

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!

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!

Adina Sellin

Amazeballs! I dropped my portable drive off my bed and I called Seagate tech support desperate for a way to fix it. They told me to call Payam Data Recovery, the only company in New Zealand they authorized and recommended. I'm glad I called. They were super helpful and it worked out a lot cheaper thank I expected.

These guys are truly lifesavers! Our laptop hard disk suffered accidental impact and the file allocation table was messed up, tried a few other contractors before and no one could help.
We came across Payam when researching on the web, and sure enough, true to their word, they provided the best service ever. Delivered on what they said they would and all our important data were recovered for a very reasonable cost!

They are simply amazing, couldn't recommend them enough. Truly the best data recovery team in Australia. Kudos to Mark and the team in Melbourne! Mark is very gracious and helpful. He and his team really make the world a better place to live. I really do mean it. We are really really grateful that there is Payam Recovery Data Centre in Melbourne as I can't imagine if our data cannot be recovered.

Keep up the good job, Payam! God bless you. A++ Grade for quality and customer service.

I had an old but reliable computer system which I depended on for years, for most of my programming tasks and research work. The processor is a Pentium II 100 MHZ, 8 MB RAM running windows 95 as the main operating system (responsible for booting) together with windows 3.11 for workgroups, with two HDD of 424 MB and 540MB capacity respectively. The two drives C (the master drive) and D were compressed using the MS compression program Drvspace which comes with Windows 95. The compression process yielded 4 drives: C as the master drive, D as the subordinate drive, together with two virtual drives H which is the host for C and G which is the host for D. The system was vigilantly protected and was not connected to the internet. The nightmare started during the completion stages of writing my M.Sc. thesis (the relevant data was stored on the D drive), the system crashed unexpectedly due to a physical problem with the master HDD C comprising some bad sectors. Subsequently the corruption led to the modification of the master disk partition tables, which in turn was interpreted by the BIOS in a manner that led to its failure in finding the system files within the booting sector. Accordingly, the booting process was constantly failing with the message DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER Moreover the data on the four drives was not visible! There was no joy at all, when trying to start the system using a system disk, and when running SCANDISK diagnostics on the C drive, there was the indication that the CVF (compressed Volume File) logical structure is intact, with no bad parts. i.e. the FAT, etc but the directories cannot be accessed, as the drive is dismounted, with the advice to mount the drive through installing Drvspace (already installed). A weak earlier to that event, I heard of PAYAM on the radio with the catching phrase We can recover data that is deemed by many as unrecoverable. Luckily on that day I wrote down their web address. I went to seek PAYAMs services regarding my computer problem. When I first got there, I was given a sheet of paper to describe the problem and list the most important directories to be recovered. I was asked to explain the problem orally as well to a very courteous and good listening member of the team. On that same day I was sent an e-mail by PAYAM, listing and explaining the various methods of advanced software recovery which is on offer, and the agreement terms involved. In few words, the PAYAM team was able to recover the entire data on all drives despite the complications arising from the compression procedure (the data had to be decompressed) and the outdated technology involved. What impressed me the most beside their technical prowess was their quick professional responsiveness to enquiries and questions during the period of recovery. During that duration, I was gravely worried to lose my valuable data, and had many questions and suggestions. A PAYAM team member usually communicated with me through e-mail or by returning my phone call, the very same day I raised an issue or had an inquiry. Moreover, on the recovery day, I had a very pleasant and informative chat with one of the team members regarding the most efficient backup methods and reliable storage devices. I am very satisfied with the result I got from the PAYAM team, I was able to recover data that took many years to collate. and which if lost would have been devastating. I would strongly recommend PAYAM recovery services to all my friends and colleagues when facing similar data recovery problems. I would also recommend them to everybody in need of their services, because from what I experienced, they are simply the best in their field.

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.

John Cassey

We are an Australian charity involved in overseas aid. All our media (video, images) for the past 6 years had been moved to an external hard drive - which then failed. Local experts referred us to Payam after being unable to recover data. Lachlan made the process of sending the disc easy and was at all times attentive, clear and professional about options. The eventual cost was beyond our means. Knowing we were a charity, Payam offered to recover the data at a substantially reduced cost and put it onto a complimentary hard drive. You guys are great!!!!!! Thank you

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!

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.

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

Ceasar Levine

My hard drive fell off a desk last week. After talking to 2 other data recovery labs - Payam was the most helpful on the phone. They were the only company who gave me a fixed price and were recommended by Western Digital in New Zealand.

Andrew

Upon discovering Payam online, and experiencing issues with the manufacturer of the external hard drive, I was reluctant that the data on my device would ever be recovered.

Payam took the time to explain step by step the process, and showed visibility the whole way through.

A special thank you to Lachlan and Keith for all their help and assistance.

I have no trouble in recommending Payam to anyone that has a faulty device and is in need of recovering the valuable data.

Heather Donovan

Was really thrilled that Payam were able to recover all my data from my broken hard drive. This was done in a really timely manner and I would recommend this company to everyone who was in the same dilemma. Would most definitely use them again.
