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.

Fast Prompt and delivered what other companies said was impossible! High Recommended. I have been recommended their service to everyone in a similar situation. Can't fault their service.

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.

Payam's service was wonderful, I thought I had lost all my backup but they came to my rescue.

Brenden

Sent them my thumb drive and got it back with all data recovered within a week. Keith was brilliant and took the time to go through what was recovered prior to me paying.

I had actually sent my thumb drive to Technetics Data Recovery a month earlier. Got some crap story about it being difficult to recover and wanted to charge me in excess of $1500 to recover 10 Power Points.

Payam were quicker, more engaged and a 1/4 of the price.

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.

Recently, one of my barristers' computer went for a 'swim' whilst on holidays. He did not have back up and was quite distressed. I had an IT person have a look and they said it required professional data recovery. I then contacted Payam and sent the hard drive over. A representative rang me back the same day and asked various questions and said I would receive a quote and an idea of the amount of data, if any, that could be recovered. The next day I was contacted and advised that 'most, if not all' the data could be recovered and for a very reasonable fee. I was also asked what I wanted done with the defective hard drive i.e. returned or destroyed and if wanted to purchase a storage device or would prefer to provide same. I was able to collect the defective hard drive and storage device within two (2) days of the delivery to them. I am more than happy to recommend PAYAM who provide an excellent, efficient and personalized service to distressed customers by keeping the customers informed all through the process. Thank you once again for all help.

I was very satisfied with the job that you guys did. It was quick, easy, helpful and accommodating. As a full-time student, I greatly appreciated the plan of payment I was put on that was offered to All my files were recovered from my drive and I can’t really be any happier. Thank you.

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!

I stored all my photos on a 500gb external hard drive (a normal pc hard drive in an external casing). At least 2-3 years worth of personal, travel, and assignment photos. When my hard drive broke down, I thought I had lost all those precious memories and assignment work. It was powering up but just made a spinning sound and wouldn't get recognised by my computer. I quickly jumped online and googled 'hard drive data recovery' and called 2 other companies before PAYAM. The other companies weren't too helpful. Then I spoke with Craig Nevans from PAYAM over the phone. Craig was very helpful and asked me a few questions about what the hard drive was doing when I kept trying to turn it on. Craig then gave me a solution to try before bringing my hard drive in - to connect it directly to the pc as the external power supply in the casing might be faulty. He was spot on with the faulty power supply in the casing. My computer even recognised that the drive was there but the data was not readable. So I called Craig again and he suggested I bring it in for testing. When I arrived at PAYAM, the service from Craig was fantastic. He gave me a breakdown of the whole process, prices and estimate of the time it would take. I also had to be on a plane back to London in a few days. During and after the testing of my hard drive, Craig kept me up to date constantly via email and phone over the next couple of days. He was able to recover all my photos and files that were on my hard drive, all before I had to go overseas. Excellent and professional service from Craig. Thanks heaps Craig! I highly recommend PAYAM Data recovery!!

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.

John Hipwell

Best service yet for retrieving data removed in error. Great advice, professionalism and care. Thanks heaps Craig.

Adam S

I am very happy with the service received from Payam. They recovered most (maybe all) the data from from failed my 500gb laptop drive, and provided the service in under 48 hrs, for under $400. Although the full service price was similar to others, I selected PAYAM as they offered a sliding payment scale, meaning that I initially didn't have to put my hand too far in my pocket with no idea of the outcome. That is- the financial risk was lower. I found the staff helpful and polite on the phone,and at the office, and there was even a follow up call to see how I went. I have recommended PAYAM to several of my colleagues and will continue to do so. My experience was very good. When you balance the cost of recreating/assembling your work, the money was well spent. But it is still no substitute for an effective, confirmed backup. But you probably already know that otherwise you wouldn't be reading this review!

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.

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!

Duncan Yelds

OMG! I have just gotten back my lost files that were inadvertently deleted when we changed a mail server across recently …….. Now I was told that to recover a .pst or an .ost file was not possible ……Or highly unlikely to recover any useful data. Yes the guys at Payam data recovery had my PC for 10 days – but to look at the recovered files and see that 90% plus of my lost email data was recovered was extraordinary – yes 12 years of client communication was recovered from a hard drive and file type that shouldn’t of been recoverable.

These guys went not only an extra mile they circled the globe finding a solution to recover my lost data – the value of their work is far far outweighed by the cost of what I would of lost in client records. You would be stupid to allow anyone else to attempt to recover your precious data.

Franky Tsang

Just had my drive recovery from them, they saved my life! They are not the cheapest in town but I can say they are the best, if they can't fix it, I don't think anyone else can. A BIG BIG thank you!

Piotr Sawi

Fantastic, professional and efficient service. I got a quote for unreadable disk data recovery the next day after delivering disk to the North Sydney Office. The disk belonged to one of my clients which came out of G5 mac and contained all the billing information of my client including outstanding accounts for over $30000 so they didn't know who to chaise for payments. Sure you can find cheaper services in Sydney or post your hdd overseas but would/could you risk it? In my case the answer was NO so I gave it to the best data recovery people I knew - PAYAM. I was not mistaken. The disk clone would not boot in a Mac due to damage caused by hard drive failing for a period of time and trashing system files but all the accounting data I needed was recovered 100%. Client was very happy and I was very happy too. Don't risk it. Leave it with Payam.

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.

Harpreet

My laptop had crashed and I had all my uni data in the hard drive. I didn't want to lose this important data and I found Payam. Great service, friendly staff which is well technically informed. My data was saved and the price I paid was also reasonable. Thanks to Payam for the help.

Tony Robbis

Clear, thorough and friendly communication throughout the process. They listened carefully to my needs and successfully recovered data for the lowest cost possible and in good time. Very impressive service.

I found Payam on the internet after my external HDD failed and my IT support at work could not help me out. Craig was very helpful and responded very quickly to my queries. After some tests, all at no charge, Craig informed me of my options. The data I required was urgent and thanks to Payam most of my data was recovered in a timely fashion, at a reasonable price with no hidden costs. I would highly recommend Payam and their services.

Cris Lovelace

I work for a big a bank (not allowed to publish the name) and the only company we trust is Payam Data Recovery. The guys in IT said they saved us a few times when we had a server crash so when my personal external hard drive fell off my desk and hit the ground really hard - I took it to Payam to have a look. The ground was - it was not as bad as I had thought. They got my photos back in about 2 days and it cost $275. I was expecting it to cost $1500+. Really friendly too from the guy at the reception desk - forgot his name, I think it was Mick

Everything is taken

Awesome service and great people. Thanks Paolo.

Michael Crichton

I called every data recovery company in town when my laptop hard drive crashed, I spoke with the guys at Payam on the phone and he was so helpful. In person they explained everything to men and showed me their prices on their web site. Great customer service and clear upfront prices.

Michael Bachelder

After my hard drive died - I was in shock, as I didn't have a back up. A friend recommended "Payam data recovery", as they were able to recover my documents, photos and data... My problems were solved.
