Thanks Payam for saving my bacon--and my budget. I didn't really have a choice to not recover my data, and all other avenues had turned up a non-result, or a hideously expensive result. As it is, they were able to recover all my data, at a very reasonable price. The staff were fantastic too: incredibly helpful, professional, and supportive in my time of need. Love your work, Payam!

After visiting an apple store and learning my Macbook Pro had bad sectors I researched data recovery and tried Payam. They have managed to recover every file I needed, Including more than 2000 priceless photographs. I highly recommend them.

Craig Lawton

This data recovery completed was for our business’s server. So far it appears to have been 100% successful. Many thanks for saving us months of recovery time.

Not cheap but you get the quality recovery service you pay for.

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.

Penelope Harmon

Payam provided an amazing service. My hard drive had some extremely important documents on there which had not been backed up recently and it would be very stressful if I lost them. They kept me informed throughout the process, and in the end recovered all of the data I needed. They were very professional and did an amazing job. Thanks Payam!

Tony Peters

Our internal IT team could not recover the data from my hard drive and mentioned you guys as someone who might be able to help out.

You did a great job and on time.

Nick Ni

Had a WD mybooklive 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.

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!

AraKia

I dropped my hard drive and it stopped working, it had all my photos and important back ups on there, I sent it to a data recovery company who spent 3 days on it and said they could not find anything on there and that my data was gone!!! not wanting to accept this I found Payam Data recovery and sent it to them, they were able to diagnose why my drive was showing no data and bypass the encryption in a way that allowed them to get the data off they managed to save everything which was a massive relief to me and my partner! the staff where professional and courteous at all times and sensitive to the stress full situation I was in, I will forever be in debt to them for the work they did!

Ruby Langsworth

They made it look all too easy! great service!

John Schaeffer

Thank you to the team of data recovery specialists at Payam. After much despair from seeking recovery services elsewhere and being told my data was unrecoverable, I sought out Payam.

Wished I’d gone there first. They were able to recover all of my irreplaceable valuable information (documents, photos, music files etc) which I thought had gone forever. Very reasonable price too. Excellent work and would definitely recommend Payam to anyone needing their valuable data recovered.

Dan Wright

Very easy to deal with and reliable company. All my work was quoted quickly and accurately, no surprises at the end of the job and they were able to get all of my data back from some very old hard drives. Highly recommend using their services.

drli

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.

Bernadette Marie O’Farrell

I was extremely happy with the service I received! I thought I had lost my entire university thesis and various other important files when I had spilt tea on my MacBook.

I searched tirelessly for a company that would not only be able to retrieve the data at a reasonable price, but one that I could trust with such personal information. The team at Payam kept me up to date with the progress of my data recovery and managed to retrieve all of my files!

I have already recommended Payam to friends and family -particularly those who are as clumsy as me and just as likely to spill liquid on their computers. Thanks again for all of your help!

Bernard Jones

These guys know what their doing. Was just going through life and then was faced with my other half loosing over five years worth of photography plus data, and then have the back up crash on the same night. Payam, Lachlan and the rest of the team persisted, ran multiple recoveries, providing updates on its progress and then retrieving 905 of the drive. Great achievement and great service

Sean Humphrey

Amazing company, recovered all my data. Thank you.

Mike Quigley

In this age of diminishing service and the usual response... Computer says no.. isn't it refreshing to find someone who is really helpful. I just wanted to say how absolutely blown away I was by Craigs help. His commitment to finding a solution to my backup problems was brilliant. I cannot thank him and Payam enough. Brilliant all thanks to Craig. Craig and Payam is a service I can definitely recommend. 10/10 Many Thanks.

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.

Many thanks for retrieving all photos deleted from an external hard drive. Your staff were calm and efficient in the face of great angst and retrieved a lifetime of memories. Thank you so much!

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.

“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.

Joseph Anthony

I love your work, it was fantastic service, and should you ever require it I will recommend you to the Pope for sainthood – you have performed miracles and resurrected my hard drive. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone with a data recovery problem.

FMSGCA

The details for PAYAM were forwarded to me after my hard drive had crashed on my Sony Vaio workhorse. I took it to Craig at PAYAM and inside two weeks, they had found everything. It was super! It was appreciated and the money it cost, was worthwhile.....more than worthwhile. Thank you very, very 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.

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.

Kamal Mikhail

Highly professional, honest and efficient. would definitely used them again for critical data recovery if needed

Su Johnson

Very happy with Payam’s services. Tried the local IT shop, useless! Next time will go straight to Payam.

Shannon Hamilton

I have used Payam Data Recovery twice now and both times they recovered all my data, Once when my USB failed and again when my hard drive failed. I was very very pleased and happy. I definitely would 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 🙂

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.

Bhakti

I was very happy with the service received.

I had 500+ important (to me) photos seemingly lost forever on a faulty compact flash card. My PC was requesting the card be formatted and my camera wasn't recognising it at all!

Fortunately, I located Payam Data Recovery via a Google search and after their free quote and assessment of the problem, they were able to recover every single image on the card - for a more than reasonable fee.

Recommended!

Paula Monteith

Great experience with Payam Data recovery! My hard drive packed up 4 years ago, and the team at Payam fixed it!! Bloody amazing. They were professional, efficient and surprisingly affordable. Highly recommend these blokes. They even got payment plan for the poor folk like myself.

Doug Smith

Excellent work achieved without delay.  I thank you.

Blair Harkness

Very happy with the service and result I received from the Auckland office of Payam. Very pleasant staff too. Fairly expensive, but a lot of time was involved, and I bought a new drive at a good price.

Philip Balfour

My iPhone stopped working for no reason. Unfortunately, I had not backed it up - the phone contained photos of my twins. I was heartbroken, I thought I would never see those photos again. Payam successfully recovered my data! I will forever be grateful. Thank you so much payam

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.

SuganyaJeyaprakash

You are very considerate and charged a reasonable amount for me since i am a student. I really appreciate that! Regarding work, it was good and got done in a reasonable time. Thank you, once again.

Hix

Recovered all my data from water damaged iPhone & damaged Laptop HDD. They wont let you down. Professional and efficient.

Steve G

The guys at Payam know their stuff. They were able to recover crucial data from a damaged usb drive in less than 4 hours

Jan Burt

Thanks Craig Nevans at PAYAM Data Recovery Pty Ltd. I recently thought I had lost a lot of memories (photos) when the external hard drive I was using crashed. I thought I had backed up the photos but when I looked to find the backups I realised that they were not there. I was completely devastated, I thought I had lost the photos of grandchildren, friends, holidays. Hundreds of memories and photos that could not be replaced. I searched the web and found PAYAM in Melbourne. With my hard drive in hand, my husband, daughter and I drove to Melbourne. There at PAYAM we were greeted by the most wonderful person Craig Nevans, the customer service manager. Straight away Craig set our minds at ease, he was sympathetic,very supportive and completely understood our plight. Craig was wonderful to deal with. He didn't promise the world or that he could recover the data, however we went back home feeling very positive. As promised Craig emailed a few days later, they could recover the data at a very affordable price. A second email followed in a few days to advise they had recovered the data and they would, if we liked, ship the recovered data back to us on a well priced new hard drive, thus avoiding another trip to Melbourne. We were ecstatic to receive this email. I have no hesitation in recommending PAYAM to anyone looking for data recovery. They are the best in their field and wonderful people. If your hard drive crashes, don't panic contact PAYAM and talk to Craig and the team. Thanks again Craig

Kelly Andrusko

Just want to say thank you for retrieving my data from a very broken USB stick. It had a lot of important information which I would have been lost without. The whole process was easy and I really appreciated all your help. I will definitely let others know about the service. Thank you again

Rik Pene

The service and care that was taken during our time of need from having our businesses data corrupted was amazing! It was a stressful time for us but we were put at ease from how professional Kane and Leigh handled the situation. We will always recommend Payam to anyone that requires data recovery services!

Desiree Jefferson

After taking my broken iphone to two other places and being told that data was completely irretrievable, I then took it to Payam, where they were successful in retrieving all of my data! Definitely take it here first! Great service and very friendly staff. 10/10 would recommend to anyone. These guys honestly saved my life

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.

Bennie Gordon

When my Intel SSD stopped working after it went to sleep one day, I googled data recovery and Payam were the first to get back to me. They recovered everything for $600. Worth every cent. Easy to deal with.

After my 1Tb drive containing Videos of two weddings, Family videos and photos events and irreplaceable data died,. I nearly lost faith in computers.,(Yes this is the drive I backed up the files to). My computer supplier could not recover the files and referred me to PAYAM. Fearing the worst I spoke to Mike and Payam who impressed me with their caring and supportive suggestions offering me hope for a complete recovery of all data. Not only did they achieve this even though the hard drive was completely corrupted but they allowed me to verify that all the files were readable and that I was satisfied before payment was made. A price had been negotiated beforehand with which I was extremely satisfied with. I was contacted by Payam a few days later just to check that I was completely satisfied , with an offer to help if I had any problems. I have no hesitation in recommending their Gold Star service to anyone in similar stressful circumstances. They are Competent Diligent and Caring and as far as I am concerned they are like Intensive Care the save the data and alleviate the stress of the customer. Pardon the pun but you have nothing To looSE See You Next time Mike

Chris

Thanks payam , for your amazing recovery . I can't believe that data could be recovered in less than 48 hours .
From the beginning of time during the submission of my Harddrive, you guys showed complete100% customer service . Thankyou to your team.

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.

Sending a hard drive with physical damage to attempt data recovery of a number of important files. They were completely successful in recovery of the requested data. And even before the job began were able to answer questions pertaining to their process and job information.

And excellent and fast service with amazing communication.

Highly recommended for your similar needs.

Wife's phone died without any warning and she had not had time backup photos. Luckily Payam were able to recover them all. Not the cheapest service, but what price can you put on memories? They retrieved 27GB of data, over 14,000 photos and 250 videos. Made a very happy wife when she got the backup drive Christmas morning. Staff were very polite.
Only one very small area of improvement for them would be to provide a little more comms. We chose the Economy Service (1-2 weeks) that took 3.5 weeks. Acknowledging that website states times subject to change, however there was no comms from them, it was only when I chased status updates.

I just received the email from Payam about the recovery files of my very old external hardrive. I am literally in happy tears watching the preview video of my recovered folders and files. I'm talking old samsung files, sanyo digital camera files, old pc files, all my old pictures, videos my whole youth basically. I'm still crying as I write this and although I haven't received my hard drive back they have advised that about 49,000 of my files have been recovered. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am. The price paid to this team is worth every penny. These memories are priceless and I am beyond happy and grateful. Thank you thank you thank you! Back up your hardrives people, get them onto the cloud, have backups of backups because the pain or thought of losing them is not worth it, which I pretty much did due to damaged heads on the hardrive. I can't wait to reunite with my pictures and videos 🙂 🙂 🙂 thank you again team!
