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.

My life was on my external hard drive and when it wouldn't open I felt sick! I found Payam on an internet search and posted off my problem. My lack of a back up drive cost me, but I am very thankful that Payam recovered everything.
Ellise Myerson
I previously went to other shop. Terrible service and couldn't retrieve anything off my hard drive. The technician was also very unprofessional and rude. So glad I found Payam as they saved the day! They always gave me updates of the process and retrieved all my important documents
Jay Lesquillier
Kane was very helpful and professional

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.
Brad Corey
My hard drive suddenly stopped working. Visited several recovery companies and finally found Payam. Payam did a great job and recovered all my data. They also gave me a very reasonable price. Thank Payam!
Our business relies on digital storage and when a drive fails it can cause great concern. We recently experienced an issue with a drive that was used to store critical client data. Without hesitation we sent the drive to PAYAM Data Recovery and they have successfully recovered all data and returned it to us on a new drive. Their communication and service is professional and courteous and everything they promised was delivered. If we have any future hard drive or data recovery issues they’ll again be my first – and only - call. NextGen Studios.

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.
James Barret
I was quoted almost $2k, told parts needed replacing and it would take 4 weeks. Luckily I found Payam! They were a quarter of the price, nothing needed replacing and they were time efficient. These guys saved our business. I would definitely recommend!

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.

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.

Recovered data from my water damaged (destroyed) Samsung Galaxy S6 3 weeks after the damage occurred. Amazing service
My company (SME) had a major server crash, which meant all of our data on both server HDD's was corrupted or lost. We also found to our surprise and horror that our backups hadn't been functioning properly since a previous server issue late last year- so we only had project and company data up to that point and nothing from November to March. I Googled 'data recovery' and went with the reviews I read. I contacted the Payam team who were very professional and efficient from the outset. They gave me a straightforward and honest assessment about the chances of recovering the data, but I always felt they would do everything possible to recover it. Thankfully they were able to recover everything for us...sigh of relief....and we have also established a new back-up policy/test process!! I would have no hesitation in recommending Payam for this service- very impressed.
Kirsty Walker
Understanding, efficient and quick service. Mark very knowledgable and was able to assist me by retrieving my 'lost' information from a time capsule with patience and ability. Thank you.
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.

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.
Sarah Ashley
I can't recommend Payam Data Recovery highly enough. They recovered most of my data from a broken memory card that was in the worst possible condition. In fact, it crumbled when I handed it to Vinh, who straight away reassured me there was hope. And to my amazement, 99% of my photos were recovered a few weeks later. So, anyone out there who is panicking, don't stress, till you visit these guys. I also want to mention the wonderful service I received from Vinh, who called and emailed me regularly to give me up dates, as to where he and his team were at, in regards to recovering my data. Thank you so much, to Vinh, and all the wonderful staff at Payam.

I was very happy with the service received.

Crushed my Mac!!! That was bad enough, thankfully Payam recovered all the data on my SSD. Terrific service and a real relief. Cheers Campbell!!
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!
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!
Paul Flood
Referred to Payam by Streetwise Mac Computer reseller with my HDD failure, and my crucial data with multimedia files was not backed up....... I found the Melbourne Manager Mark Gazzola very friendly, efficient and prompt in his service. Payam initially responded very quickly by email to my website query, and directed me to the St Kilda Rd Office for HDD drop-off. Phone follow-up to me was within 24 hours, and when I visited Payam's office, the matter was solved rapidly and Mark Gazzola showed me how to access the HDD to enable restoration, all at no charge!! Mark was even pro-active in prevention by suggesting that I organise at least duplicate external HDD back-ups, with both on and off-site storage. Great advice. Highly recommended for data recovery, and thanks again Mark and Payam.
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.
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.
Mindy Cole
After dropping my iphone in water and then it not turning on or charging... I thought I had lost my thousand photos and contacts and everything else my life depended on with that phone. I sent it down to the guys at Payam and after only a few days I got the call to say all had been recovered! I am so grateful! Thanks again guys! appreciate it a lot
Phil Smith
Kane in the Brisbane office is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to talk to. VERY happy with the Services received
Lucy Moxon
Your service was great and I am very pleased with the amount of data recovered.

"The main board on my notebook computer collapsed while I was working overseas. It was not able to be repaired. I was not unduly worried as I knew that I would be able to recover all the data off my hard disk and transfer it to a new computer.
Unfortunately it was not quite as easy as that. I was able to transfer most of my files but some key files could not be recovered. It turned out that some files were encrypted and there was nothing that I could do to get access to the data, which included all the files needed to file my BAS return. A few years earlier, while working on a special contract, my notebook computer had been set up as the master computer in a small network we established so that the others in the team could access our printer. My computer had had encryption placed on the files to ensure their security. The encryption was removed when the network was dismantled. What I did not realise was that the encryption remained on a number of the pre-existing files.
When I returned to Australia with my non-functioning computer, the repairer suggested that Payam might be able to recover my data for me. I took my hard disk to Payam to see what they could do for me. A couple of hours later they rang to say that they had recovered all my data, apart from a couple of inconsequential files. That was wonderful news as I was not relishing the prospect of attempting to reconstruct all my inadvertently encrypted files. Payam gave me a CD with all the data files from my hard disk and I was able to transfer them to my new computer without any problems.
The recovery process was very straightforward for Payam, as my hard disk contained the encryption algorithm, and they were able to access that algorithm. I might have been able to do something similar had I been able to find an identical computer to my non-working notebook computer, already an obsolete model, with an identical operating system, and install my hard disk on that computer. That was an uncertain and highly stressful undertaking, so I was extremely relieved that Payam had a straightforward process to access my encrypted data.
Vinny Corey
What looked like a hopeless case when strip hard drives failed, was turned around, and for a reasonable price all data was recovered - well over 200 GB. Well done!
Joanne Hansen
I am happy to say that Payam saved the day for me and I would recommend them anytime. They managed to retrieve data from a broken hard drive from my new video camera which stopped working half way through my son's international sporting competition and o/s holiday. I was told by others it probably could not be done but Payam managed to get most of it off for me. They were extremely efficient and kept in contact with me even after I had the recovery disc to make sure it was OK.
Grace Violet Hodder
I was very happy with the level of service provided to me. I found the frequent updates of the whole process of recovery particularly useful.
Uday Shivamurthy
Losing data you thought was on an external HDD = bad
Dealing with the fact that you may never get your data back = worse
Dealing with Payam = PRICELESS!!
These guys are the best in the trade. They are extra-courteous, sincere, honest and best of all they provide TOP value for money. I lost data on a 1TB external disk drive that had two 500GB disks in it. I didn't realise the product had hardware RAID, like an idiot I did not enable it and simply backed up data with no RAID!!!
Payam, recovered **all** my data, could not be happier - thanks a lot Payam
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!
Troy Williams
Unbelievable! Got told by apple + 5 other phone repair shops that my data was 100% uncoverable and not to waste my time with it and you guys managed to get it all back no problem! Should have gone here straight away
Kenneth George
I have used Payam's services for years and I have never been disappointed.
Ruby Langsworth
They made it look all too easy! great service!
Elias Hantzis
I was extremely happy with the services provided by Payam data recovery. Expectation were set perfectly and data was recovered and received promptly.
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.
My girlfriend's hard disk got stuffed without warning and no signs at all, and it froze the computer completely. I had no idea what to do and since she was starting up her own business, she had a lot of critical files on her disk. I searched the web and came across Payam. Firstly, the website was good. They were detailed, and gave straightforward quotes. There was no hidden costs involved. Also, they had the lowest prices across a few other companies that came up in my search, which were charging $1000 and above. I rang them up. They were very professional and very friendly. I sent the hard disk in and within 4 days, I could collect the hard disk (I did provide them with a new one since the old one was completely screwed, but they do sell HDD as well) and they retrieved the data as well to my relief. I would highly recommend Payam to anyone who is unfortunate enough to encounter HDD failures. But I would say you are in good hands when your disk comes to Payam. Staff are friendly, reliable and competent.
Mitch Graham
The staff was friendly and very professional. The most amazing part is they delivered as promised.
Ruthy Walsh
My HDD had crashed. I left the HDD in Payams hands expecting the worst but was pleasantly surprised when told they were able to recover all the data very quickly which included a lot of photos and Company information. Very friendly and professional staff.
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.
I had ten years worth of family photos, videos, music and general documents on my computer when I recently upgraded. I had done the right thing and backed all of my files onto an external HDD and then formatted the old drive and gave it a new life as a gaming machine for the kids. Unfortunately, I plugged the wrong power supply into the external HDD as I went to transfer all the files onto my new PC. I knew straight away there was something wrong, as the LED didn't come on and there was that horrible smell of burning circuits. I had also bought a NAS with the new computer, so I pulled the external HDD apart and hoped to install the drive into the NAS and recover the data myself......of course that didn't work. I rang every company on the Gold Coast and Brisbane that advertised data recovery (there were alot!) but most of them didn't recover from damaged drives, while those that did wanted to charge me thousands. From there I expanded my search and found Payam in Sydney. To be honest I was wary at first because they were significantly cheaper than most others, but in the end I need not have worried. Not only did they fix the drive for the agreed price, but they called me back with progress reports....twice....without me hassling! In the end I was thoroughly impressed with their service and their prices. I would recommend them any day, and while I don't ever want to use their services again, I would use them above all others.

Dropped my iPhone in the toilet - these guys retrieved all my data in 1-2 weeks! Super happy with their service. Very helpful guys

“My network attached storage recently ceased to be accessible. Among other things it held my iTunes music library and the thought of having to rip all those CDs again was not at all appealing! After spending some time troubleshooting the problem with the manufacturer, they referred me to Payam. The service was friendly and professional and in a matter of days my data was recovered. Their post recovery follow up was also first class in making sure that all was in order and my system was back up to speed.
Merv Butterworth
My vote is that I thought your service levels were top of the class.
MarieJ
I had my USB break on me in the most random of ways and it basically had my professional life saved on it! So after desperately calling a few computer places I found Payam and Craig in the Melbourne office was fantastic. He kept me up to date with the process and he managed to recover almost everything! Was fabulous! I couldn't ask for a better result. Some of you may be put off by the pricing, but honestly once you get back all of your data, you won't even think about it!! Highly recommend Payam!!
Marco Albrecht
Very happy with the service!
Larry Gray
I had 8 corrupted Vmdk files for our company Vmware server that crashed. Vmware tech support and another data recovery company could not help us. Payam data recovery extracted the contents of the files in 1 day using their urgent service. It was worth it - 200 staff are back to work now! Thank you so much, you saved my bacon!
