Lucy Moxon

Your service was great and I am very pleased with the amount of data recovered.

Janise Au

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.

Paul Lock

Payam recovered lost information without any fuss, the staff were efficient and professional and kept me informed as to total cost and progress. I would recommend Payam to as the data recover solution to any of my friends and colleagues.

Marcos J.

We contacted Payam data recovery recently following our hard drive crashing. Everything that was quoted was accomplished and we were impressed with their professional customer service. 5 stars!!

Caryn C.

Lost photos of a holiday broke my daughter's heart. I formatted the picture card thinking the photos were on her computer. I was given Payam's number and Kevin retrieved the photos. Kevin was so professional and caring. Thank you so much.

Amy Favreau

I couldn't be happier with the work Payam done! I thought I had lost my photos forever and Payam data recovery brought every one of them back!

Daniel Calabro

I recently lost access to my external hard drive - which cleverly had never been backed up. A lot of data was lost including hundreds of compositions I'd written over the years. My brother recommended PAYAM and I can see why. Fast, free quote, and after accepting the job was completed within a couple of days. The data was couriered back to me on a very well priced new hard drive. I highly recommend these guys, and appreciate the fast service and great communication

Trevor Hewitt

My experience with the Payam was extremely satisfying. The service provided by the staff at Payam from my initial email enquiry and throughout the process was highly professional and exceeded my expectations of service. Staff responded promptly to emails and returning phone calls,regularly provided feedback regarding the progress of my data recovery and bent over backwards to assist me when I collected my recovered data and answered all my questions in layman's terms. Thank you to all.

Joan Lamb

My USB flash drive broke when my laptop fell off my bed with it connected. They were able to repair it and copy my documents to a new USB flash drive on the same when I asked for their urgent service. They were the only company I could find who could do this on the same day, the others I called said it would take at least 5 days. I even spoke with the boss Payam on the phone before bringing my flash drive in, he made everything sound like it would be OK when I was majorly stressed out when it first happened

Daniel McLoughlan

I had a failed RAID pair and a backup drive that died in the same week - the perfect storm. Payam in Sydney recovered everything for a really reasonable cost.

Shane Anderson

Payam recovered 100% of some crucial footage for our film shoot that was next to impossible to reshoot for our feature film project.

Total professionalism, great pricing and superb communication, if you need data recovery services, go to these guys first!

Jamal

Brought in both my 2 TB Segate HDD's gave them to Mark at Payam Data Recovery in St Kilda where he only took couple of days to diagnose my problem which i found to be amazing as they had completely stopped working turns out a simple pcb fault on the drives was nothing that he could not handle and in only 2 weeks he managed to save all my files on both drives 100% for a cheap price i was so very impressed with the time and professionalism mark has showed every step of the way 10/10 would Highly Recommend this service.

Shelly L.

A simple storage device, which had worked faultlessly for a few years, decided soon after our recent office move that it was not going to boot up again. Having allowed our backup regime to fall behind by a few months, this meant a significant amount of important business data was inaccessible. Tech support from unitas manufacturer (when finally available) gave us great confidence the unit could be re-started in various ways but no confidence the data on the drive would survive the exercise. Their recommendation was Payam. of course payam was able to quickly and cost-effectively retrieve all of the data on the disk. However it was the way Craig conducted himself, without a hint of smugness or judgement, that was most impressive. The team at Payam are clearly very knowledgeable and highly skilled in this field, but at no stage were we made to feel ignorant or deficient. The whole process was carefully described, then quoted, and communication all through the exercise was timely and professional. We would have no hesitation in recommending payam, they're far better at their job than we are at backing up.

Julio G.

We recently had both our Primary and backup data storage devices dine in the same week, Payam were quick, professional, communicated clearly and stuck to time frames, couldn't have had a better experience.

Thomas J

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!

James Farina

Payam Data are amazing. They recovered the birth of my daughter on DVD. They made my day, It was like winning the lotto. I am ever so grateful for their amazing work. Thank you! Thank you!

Michael Payne

I am writing to tell you how satisfied I am with the service that you and PAYAM provided.

As you may remember, I had a WD Passport drive that had archived mail files, presentations and documents stored on it.  The drive died during a trip overseas and I was desperate to recover the information. I found your advertisement on the internet and also found some independent references on other forums and blogs as to the quality of work that PAYAM was able to provide.

Costing was visible, nothing was hidden.

From the first phone call contact, to the final pickup, PAYAM provided exemplary service and support.  Email replies were fast, and the phone support was excellent - Craig Nevans is an excellent resource and a real asset in critical situations like this where communication is vital.

At all times I knew the situation with the recovery and the process.  Despite the possibility that the information would not be able to be recovered, you were able to retrieve the documents and mail files and so I am able to maintain my archives and so avoid a significant amount of work and also heart-ache when trying to look for older information.

I would recommend PAYAM to anyone in a similar situation who needs honest, professional cost effective service and support. Thank you again.

Ade Newie

Professional+++, good at what they do, fast efficient, delivery. Lost 10 years of family photos, everyone else said the data was unrecoverable. Highly recommended.

Wallace McGee

Your work was prompt, efficient and achieved 100% recovery. Excellent work and excellent service.

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

While our  IT guys were installing my wife's new work system I asked them to have a look at the home PC that had been performing erratically. They took it away and I  expected to hear back about some minor problem. Instead they said the hard disk had crashed and despite all their best efforts they couldn't fix the problem. While my wife and I have backup systems for our work PCs we had nothing similar for the home PC. This was not good news. There was a long history of home related correspondence and documents and a large collection of photos taken by our two daughters that were saved on this computer.  Our IT guys recommended Payam, so I took the hard drive over to North Sydney hoping for the best. As it turned out I was not disappointed with Payam being able to recover everything. They put it on an external drive, which is now the backup, and all ended well.

Eddy Hartnet

We thought we'd never see our photos again. We don't regret paying the money. We should recommend Payam to others and we are pleased that the job was done very quickly too.

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.

Kathleen Hanitti

WD My passport USB fell off my table last month. After 2 PC repair shops could not help, I called WD support in the USA and they told me to go to Payam. They saved everything for me for only $275. Very helpful and friendly service, Thanks for your help!

Jay Eaton

The service was fantastic. Excellent Price for tape destruction. Staff very helpful and great to deal with. Would definitely recommend and use you guys again.

Geoff Wells

Payam was very effective, efficient and professional in recovering all data from my MacBook Pro, good Sydney location and open to meet post business demand, (till 6pm), worth a try every data issue time!

Mattfeb

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

Emily B.

Fantastic service from start to finish. Professional, fast and friendly. Thank you for saving us a lot of time, money and heartache from lost files. Kevin, you rock!!

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.

Kirsty

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.

Bricks Branham

Fantastic! Payam assessed the problem, recovered all the missing files within the time frame and was able to get on with life again. Great friendly service.

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.

Phillip Busch

I called last week and spoke with Kevin. He was so helpful on the phone. I passed on Payam's contact details to my client to deal directly with them.

Beth B

A friend in the industry recommended Payam, after my laptop had taken a tumble and sustained significant hard drive damage. Their website was really clear in terms of the process they offered and they gave great control to me in terms of whether to proceed. They retrieved 100% of my data, quicker than they had quoted, and true to budget. Everything about their service was great: response time, clarity of information, customer service interface and the result perfect!

AJ

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.

Aaron D

Very professional outfit. Kept me informed, were prompt in getting back to me and it seems like they enjoy what they do. very satisfied with their service and work.

I will definitely recommend them to anyone that needs their data recovered from dead or defective disks.

Anthony A Malelis

I was blown away with the service and could not be happier. I would recommend to anyone!

Sam Joseph

My wife's boss recommended Payam to me when our small business server crashed. We lost 5 years of invoices and accounting info without any backup. I called and Wes was very helpful on the phone and when i dropped it off in the city i spoke with Gray. Everyone was really helpful and told me the costs upfront. I got everything back for less than i expected in a week. Great service from a company i hope i will never need to use again, i am backing up religiously now.

Rosalie Thomas

A huge thank you to all at Payam! Your customer service was impeccable! You guys really go about and beyond. You kept me up to speed with the data recovery process with step by step emails and phone calls. I honestly cannot thank you enough!

Jai Robinson

Great communication, great service, prompt. Not much more to say. Couldn't be happier with results would highly recommend

Sheryl Moore

Fantastic! Great help!! Friendly service, recover 90% data back, enable our company get back to normal in a short period of time.

Sean Humphrey

Amazing company, recovered all my data. Thank you.

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.

Aziza Ibrahim

Really appreciated the work you did for me and recovering the data on the hard drive.

It contained photos of the first two years of my son’s life and with no other copies and backups of these at the time (I’ve since learnt my lesson) I was grateful for your service and success in recovery most of these precious memory.

Greatly appreciated and highly recommended.

After a major hard drive crash, windows wouldn't recognise the drive at all. Of course I was between making back ups at the time. Payam managed to recover all of the data on the drive, well over 300GB worth! I haven't yet found a corrupted file that they recovered. Price was very reasonable, speed was also good. Payam also kept me up to date and shipped the old drive and the recovered data to me via overnight courier. Couldn't be happier, I hope I dont need to use data recovery again, but if I do I would not hesitate to use Payam 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

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

Stephen Todd

My hard disc crashed and I lost everything. I took it to my local computer business that I deal with and they were unable to retrieve any of the disc contents. I had not backed up the disc for the past 8 months or more and had all of my work files as well as family photo's and important emails that were lost. I sent the disc to PAYAM and they were able to retrieve all of the contents completely and at an extremely reasonable price. I had trouble retrieving one of the hidden files as I have limited knowledge in that area. I rang Kevin at PAYAM and he walked me through the steps that enabled me to access the file and retrieve the information. I found their service, advice and help to be excellent and would  highly recommend them.

Adrien Lang

Very happy with the service. Just keep doing what you are doing. It’s great.

Anh D.

This service is expensive but it is worth the money if you really need to recover your important data.

Cannot recommend and thank the team at Payam enough. They restored a damaged hard drive of mine that contained so many previous photos of my family and friends. They were totally transparent with the process and managed my expectations well. Great customer service , cannot fault them. Thanks so much team

I couldn’t turn my laptop on, or reboot it, and therefore I couldn’t access data or files. There’s more: I didn’t have any backup, and I was afraid I would lose all the work done in one year of my PhD. The reason was a hardware failure with the logic board. Within a few days, the Payam Data Recovery company helped me access and save all my data. They were reliable, fast and super efficient. I would highly recommend them!

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!
