My 500GB WD external HDD died and I was horrified to realise that I hadn't updated my backup copy of my photo's! Which means I had lost all my personal / holiday photo's since the beginning of 2010. I did a search on the internet for data recovery places and phoned up three other companies that left me falling off my chair at the prices to recover approximately 300mb of data! (ranged from $700 to $1500). I eventually contacted Payam Data Recovery and was quite relieved to find out the cost of recovery (no hidden fee's - cost was listed on their website) - especially when they will not charge you if they are unable to recover anything. So really you have nothing to lose. The main staff member I dealt with was fantastic, very professional and assisted me when we were arranging drop off of another external HDD and also pick up of the data - the next day. Great service and friendly staff. Would recommend this company to anyone!

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.

Best data recovery service ever!! Don’t risk it to others, they’re overpriced and sucks! I had a hard disk broken, dead by shock, and I took it to them. They gave me a quote in 24 hrs, and started the job. It was a very hard thing to recover, as it had severe damage. It took longer than expected, however, they recovered my precious, priceless data! Payam data made my (not day), life! I even wanted to pay more than the cost! Don’t risk on other companies, best experience ever. I’ve recommend this to everyone. They can do the impossible!!! Friendly service, and always keep me update of the status. Highly recommend it. If you have loss data, don’t risk other, take it to the pros, Payam Data.

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

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.

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.

Thank you for your professional service from the first enquiry to the end result of my Data being successfully retrieved. Your staff are polite, very helpful and go the extra mile to help customers. If I ever need you services again I would not hesitate as I know my Data is in safe hands. I would strongly recommend this company to anyone that needs that special data saved from a crashed hard drive. Thanks once again.
Laura Le Mercier
Such a relief to have all of my precious memories returned! Looked around at quite a few places, and no one said they could do it. Was heartbroken, until Payam said they could do it. Thank you Payam!

These guys literally saved my life! I was DJing at Ivy and the dj after me knocked my mac laptop off the stage and into the chlorinated water surrounding the stage (without realizing). It was under water for at least 10 minutes! I came back from the bathroom to see it at the bottom of the moat.
Despite the extensive water damage, these guys managed to recover ALL my data within a month!
Very happy with the fast, friendly, efficient and professional service they provided!! 🙂

Paolo & his team did a wonderful job on recovering our data. We had taken our computer to another place & all they told us after they took out our hard drive was "it's broken & we've put in a new one & this is how much you owe us". We thought that's it we've lost everything, but lucky for us the computer place gave us PAYAM's phone number & that's the best advice they gave us. We met Paolo & he was fantastic, he explained everything to us in simple terms & kept us informed every step of the way & the price was good, considering what we got back. We would definitely recommend Paolo & his team at PAYAM, as they have provided us with excellent customer service and did what we asked. Mary
Adrien Lang
Very happy with the service. Just keep doing what you are doing. It’s great.
Ashley Moghari
I lost all my family photos on my external HD that just died. Payam were so great with communication as I live 4 hours away and had to post it to them. They recovered all my lost photos, very quickly which was great as we were so nervous to think the photos were gone. Very professional service too. Thanks again
David Pascoe
Thank you, totally happy.
Noela Read
I was extremely happy that you were able to recover my lost data (photos). I think they are pretty much 100% all there. I never expected to see the photos again after I had let an incompetent company have first go. I wish I had found your company sooner. If I ever have another lost data situation, I know where to come and will certainly recommend your company to any friends in need. Thank you very much
David Crofts
A very genuine company that cares about its customers. Their obligation-free quote is exactly that, obligation-free and with no hidden charges. They were able to recover all my data from my corrupt HDD at quote price and within the timeframe, whilst displaying great professionalism and prompt responses to my queries.
P.S. Shoutout to Kane from the Brisbane office for his professionalism.
Nick Ni
Had a WD My Book Live that stopped working after 3 years. Had about 700GB of data on it. Payam informed me initially that the disk was full of bad sectors and they proceeded to recover all the files. Great job.
Dave Romney
Splendid service, recovered a difficult hardware issue for a reasonable price.

I'd recently crashed my MacBook Pro and thought i had lost all data in my computer. I brought it over to Apple Store and Mac Centric, both of whom could not help me and suggested that I may not be able to retrieve my data anymore. The latter of whom however, suggested that I would need to go to a an experienced data recovery team and try my luck there. I then recalled my sister (having lost all her photos from an overseas SD card that she bought during her Europe trip) bringing her SD card to PAYAM, after many trial and errors through different data recovery team companies in Sydney. They eventually were the only ones able to retrieve her precious photos again. So i decided to take my computer to PAYAM, and within a day I received a more than reasonable quote which i was not obliged to pay a cent of unless i was 100 percent happy with their work. Not only are they an expert at data retrieval, but their customer service is excellent, which is certainly helpful when you are already distressed. PAYAM are an informative, efficient & reliable company, and i recommend them to anyone who needs their computer back on track again. Thank you so much for your help and fantastic customer care.

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.
Shane Roberts
You guys did some recovery work for me and I would like to say thank you for your great work. The seed of your work was great and you helped me out on a great price. I would like to thank the team at reception for putting me at ease. Thank you again and I will recommend Payam Data Recovery to all that need recovery work done…….Thanks again

Payam Data Recovery performed an outstanding job they in recovering data from our damaged disk drive. As an organisation, I can say that we were impressed with the speed with which their team responded to our request and the courtesy and consideration extended to our staff. I was particularly impressed with the follow up contact, we received following the data recovery and the offers of assistance, should we need it. It is not often that I encounter an organisation which lives up to the claims made on its web site, but I am happy to say that, in my experience, Payam Data Recovery meets or exceeds all of the representations made on its web site. As a result of the way our incident was handled, I have recommended this organisation to other businesses we deal with and provided them with contact details. I can not think of a higher recommendation.
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.
Krecs
Excellent personal customer service. Fixed my 1Tb hard drive quickly, and explained the whole process. If I ever have recovery issues again this will be the guys that I would deal with.
Audrey Dyer
Thought all the photos from my iphone were gone but after having the phone for only a day, Payam had recovered all the data and sent my iphone back. Could not be happier
Alan Johnson
I was very pleased (and relieved) that Payam were able to recover all the data from my ‘dead’ external hard drive. A very quick and efficient service – thank you.
One day I discovered that I wasn't able to open photos and iTunes music from my external hard drive. It had corrupted. I tried a number of downloaded applications that colleagues had used to retrieve data. Unfortunately they didn’t work for me. PAYAM were close by and did a good professional job. They were able to retrieve all my lost data for me.
Josh Dalt
Highly recommend Payam Data Recovery.
Craig was professional and extremely helpful, all of my data was recovered and I was kept informed throughout the whole process.
Don't think twice if you have a dead drive with lost information, Craig and his team will have it restored with little fuss and at a reasonable price.
Rabia Din
I had lost my data after asking in Canada and Dubai none could do the job when I found Payam they did an excellent job for me I recovered more or less everything. I can't thank them any less as I had thought I won't ever be able to recover anything back. I had basically all the pics and videos if my son so I'm very happy to have recovered quite a bit thank you Payam they have lovely staff and lovely support they keep u posted at every stage what they are doing till the last moment which is very good thank you once again a very happy satisfied customer of yours I would definitely recommend you to many others!

My WD portable hard disk died off suddenly with no hope to restore. Got referral from a friend for this company and retrieved the important data at ease. Expect the fee would be mega high – eventually fixed at a fee that is acceptable. High recommended company if you got the same problem.
After my laptop suffered death by drowning I was scared that I had lost all my work files. Advertisements, stock control forms, rosters, financial records, everything was kept on there. A family member recommended PAYAM as they had done some work for him and he was very impressed. I went In and spoke the them and they had a look for me. That day I had a response that they could get my data back no problems, and for a great price. Their service was very prompt and professional with clear communication throughout the whole operation.I definitely recommend PAYAM for data recovery services and they will be the first that I turn to if it ever happens again. Thanks guys.
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
Kathy Perry
The staff was very good and understanding.

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....
Amy Hobson
We had a USB that died most unmercifully upon us. I contacted Craig at the Melbourne office who helped us get everything back. Thanks Craig for the good, honest service. Highly recommended!
Sean G.
Communication from both Payam and Craig in Melbourne was outstanding; I was kep updated on the recovery via email, voice and text and had the data that I thought was lost back in less than a week!
Priscilla Barkas
Excellent service! Wes in Adelaide saved my whole hard drive! The recovery was quick and 100% of my data was saved to a new hard drive 🙂.
Ameera Jade Gorman
Super friendly staff (Vinh) and turned an unpleasant task into an easy, stress-free experience. Would definitely recommend!
Harry Montgomery
I would like to thanks the team at Payam Data Recovery for the help they given us. My phone was water damaged and had gone blank. The photos of my daughter’s birth were on it. Samsung said they could not help me and I got the same response from any other company I engaged. That phone has been in my car for over a year now just in case I could find someone. I was told about PDR and within a week they have extracted. the photos and they are being delivered. I can't thank you enough. Happy wife, happy life! I will recommend you anytime I can
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.
Eric Chen
I am happy with the overall service and definitely will use again and recommend to people who need the service.
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.
James McIvor
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
Vinny Chan
Excellent fast and friendly help - life saving!
Justine
The team at Payam retrieved data from my very sick MAC laptop and an old hard drive (from 2003 !!!) I can't thank them enough. I now have all my children photo's that I thought were long gone and all the files for my business. I can't recommend this company enough.
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
Mark Irving
Awesome Job…Thanks!
Julian Tullier
I’m extremely happy with Payam’s service and support. Whilst I picked the cheapest/slowest option, my data was recovered in a very short period of time and certainly exceeded my expectations.
