Katherine Pearce

So impressed, not only were they able to recover all my data but they are extremely professional. For free, they quoted me a price within a day and took into account my student status. Additionally, they showed me how to access all the recovered data and called me back a week later to see if everything was alright. Don't bother with mac medic or apple care, Payam Data Recovery is definitely the way to go!

David Doley

I was completely happy with the service you provided recently in recovering data from my hard drive. All the files were accessible and in good order. Thanks again for a job well done.

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

Rahul

The guys did a fantastic job with recovering my data. When I lost my data so close to Christmas, I thought it was going to turn into a nightmare. It was refreshing to see the guys at Payam data recovery make the recovery of my data so easy. They took away all my worries, were honest with pricing, and put me back in control. I hope to never lose my data again, but if by some chance it happens again, I know where to go!! Good work guys!!

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.

KishanGoonniah

I was very happy with the service provided from the free and fast assessment to the total restoration of my data on time and at a great price.

Bruce Rea

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.

Callie Smallwood

I was extremely happy with the work you completed recently! You were able to recover all my work, photos, music and everything I had asked for,  also, every staff member I encounter was very polite and helpful, I will definitely recommend Payam Data Recovery to friends and family

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.

Ameera Jade Gorman

Super friendly staff (Vinh) and turned an unpleasant task into an easy, stress-free experience. Would definitely recommend!

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

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

Massimo Papa

Payam data recovery has saved my business. I went overseas and when I got back my Nas double hard drives were not working anymore, both of them. I took the hard drives, still in warranty, to the shop where I bought them, but they told me that they could not do anything, than I found Payam data recovery in Perth. In only 3 days I got all my data back up and the staff gave me tips on what to do to prevent it from happening again. Since than I have recommended them to some of my friends and they always came back very happy.

Sheryl J.

My hard drive packed up. Found Payam by recommendation from friends. They did a great job of recovering all my data. Good reminder to me to backup my stuff on a regular basis. I would highly recommend them!

Toby Minton

They rescued my waterlogged data in no time. Great work

Arthur Rosa

Have trusted these guys every time I've needed data recovery. Will continue to trust them. Stellar service and professionalism

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.

Suzanne Janine

This company retrieved my data from a mechanical malfunction of some sort from my hard drive. The hard drive could not be accessed using any computer yet Payam managed to get it all off & onto an external hard drive for me. Using the priority service was extremely prompt & the service was friendly and communicative & I was more than happy to pay the fee based on the amount of work it saved me from having to try & re input etc. Hopefully I do not need their services again but if I do have data recovery issues ever I would deal with them I was that happy with their work

Tia Bates

A huge thank you to Paolo for recovering my severely water damaged iPhone! also the team at Payam was very professional, kind and awesome... so refreshing! After being told by two other technicians that there was no hope... Payam found a way!!! Paolo you must be acknowledge for your tenacious will to find a solution! I now have precious photos of my children and most recently of my newborn, which I thought I had lost forever... Words cannot explain my gratitude and will be forever grateful!! Thank you so much! with warmth

Vinny Chan

Excellent fast and friendly help - life saving!

ljsbradley

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!

Rohan, Paolo, Greg, Stephen,

Thank you for the excellent work. I can't thank you guys enough for recovering all my irreplaceable data. Appreciate your prompt reply and communication on every step of the way. Discounts that was offered were immensely helpful financially.

Will definitely recommend you guys if anyone I know needs data recovery.

USB flash drive crushing, Payam data recovery to the rescue. Good job guys!

Xodotodo

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.

Robert Gepford

Payam and the team brought my dead drive back to life and at a very reasonable price! Friendly, straight-forward and recovered all of my data in the time frame they promised.

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.

Jimmy Tang

My HDD died due to firmware corruption. Recovery cost $600. Great service. Easy to reach from the station.

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

Christina Tee

Payam did a really good job with recovering my files that were in a portable drive that was damaged. Really glad that I entrusted them to do the job!

Dieter Jansen

A while back I had a PC which had a power supply failure that took out the motherboard, all adapters and all three hard drives. Payam took a look at the drives and indicated that with board-level repairs there was a good chance that all the data would be recovered and this is exactly what happened.

The data on the drives was useful but I didn't need it urgently so I took the economy service option.

Payam kept in touch regularly and all data was returned on a drive I supplied.

Very pleased with the service.

The cost of the service i s not trivial so I guess you have to weigh up the cost of the work with the value of the data and the likelihood of recovery but in my case the recovered data was worth much more to me than the cost of recovering it so I'm very happy.

Amanda Scott

Couldn't have asked for a better service, my hard drive couldn't be read by the computer technician, he then recommended Payam.  I posted in the hard drive and received a phone call to confirm they had received it, then after only a few hours I received the call to say they could recover the data and gave me a free quote, I opted for the economy service, due to moving house, and was over the moon to hear after a few days that it was successful, they then arranged for the external hard drive and my old hard drive to sent back to me by courier. I would highly recommend Payam to anyone the service was fast, professional and I was keep up to date on progress throughout. Thanks for everything. Amanda

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.

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.

Sandor Kovacs

After others had a go at recovery of my hard drive but failed I was very nervous, a lifetime of memories could be lost, Payam's reputation gave me some comfort but the feeling when I saw the first line of their email gave me much elation, We have some good news for you... I guess it can't work every time but it sure worked for me where others failed. Highly recommend them to recover your treasures if you are in the unfortunate situation I found myself in.

Ashleigh Roome

Thanks for retrieving my holiday photos!

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!!

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 🙂

Gaynor Macdonald

Payam recovered almost all my data from an external hard drive - after I had two hard drive crashes in one week. They tried hard but couldn't do the same for a friend so I know how hard they work to make this happen. In both cases, they were excellent to work with, professional and courteous - how all business should be conducted.

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.

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

James Gilbert

I am a reseller of this company. They do free quotes and have always gotten my clients data back

I have worked as an IT Support technician for over 10 years. I have often been able to recover data for clients. If the drive is able to spin up I can often get data off. But not this time! This drive just crashed with no warning, no slow writes and reads. Just bang and gone. Since the drive contained varieties of information in various states of backup, it was commercially important to try and recover it. The guys at Payam worked their magic and recovered as far as we can tell all 240 GB of files. Payam now provides me with another option for clients who must have that data back. Very professional, very helpful.

Kate Roulston

Amazing! Were able to recover data from dead iPhone so quickly! So thankful I got it all back. Thanks so much

Colleen Marlow

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.

Peter Juniper.

Your service was excellent and I couldn’t fault it. Communication, pricing and the processing timing was made very clear and reiterated a number of times. My dead mobile phone was processed surprisingly quickly and the data I wanted to retrieve was recovered.

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.

Annie McIntosh

Very friendly very helpful successful recovery

Carol S

Having decided to back up my hard drive externally "when I just get these couple of things up to date" Murphy's Law intervened, and I was left with no access to all my business and tax information. Panic search of Google led me to Payam Data Recovery. A phone call to Craig and an explanation of what had happened left me with SOME hope, so I sent off the recalcitrant drive by express post, and waited for the prognosis with some trepidation. I need not have worried. Craig contacted me very promptly, outlined my options, and within a short time, I had new internal and external hard drives, and access to ALL my data.

I live in a very small town, and when dealing with businesses by telephone I'm accustomed to having to ring several times, be shunted from one person to the next, explain the problem several times to different people, and end up with very little if any satisfactory results, so I particularly appreciated Craig's promptness, honesty, and the excellent service he delivered. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him and his team.

James Bomalick

Your service were second to none and I couldn't be happier. I hope I don't need your services in the future, but in any case, I wouldn't hesitate to return and to recommend to other people. Keep it up!

Larson Wolters

Required some Data from an old raid setup, the team at Payam are very helpful and efficient, kept me in the loop the whole way through the process. Great service would highly recommend!

I recently lost access to all the files on my SD card and feared they were gone for good. Thankfully, the team at Payam Data Recovery was able to recover everything! The entire process was smooth from start to finish. Their communication was clear and prompt, the service was friendly and professional, and everything was handled efficiently. Highly recommended if you're ever in a similar situation!

My Hard drive on my laptop died recently without any warning, as such I had to replace the hard drive but doing so I lost thousands of files being a small business I could never replace.
I connected with Payam, and they were so helpful on what needed to be done, and once they received my hard drive they more or less let me know every step of the way of the process. Once finished and they had retrieved 99.9% of my files, they sent me an email and SMS letting me know of the good news and a link showing the files that had been retrieved. I will be ever so grateful to them.
