I am surprised to see how you recover the data and the good communication provided. Initially, I though the data would lost anyway.
Keep up the good work guys.

About a year ago my younger sister passed away, and a lot of pictures of us were on a hard drive I accidentally put on wrong power supply and burn the PCB. Never really went into recovery, because why should I, is not that it was critical for me. After I lost her, I wanted to recover the images of us as young kids. The website was very clear, and their reviews substantial in my choosing to take my drive here. The team was very friendly and offered great advice. The picture I recovered are worth so much more than I payed. Thank you!

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.

When a SSD Hard drive fails it is always a concern about whether data will be recoverable or not - luckily Payam were able to get all of our required files back off the drive, and at a very good price. Communication along the way was spot on also, would definitely recommend them!

My digital camera packed up while on a recent overseas holiday and I could not recover some 900 plus photos. I also made things worse by mistakenly re-formatting the card. Thanks to Payam Data Recovery they systematically and thoroughly retrieved 95% of my images in high resolution thereby saving many precious memories and amazing images. It cost a little but was well worth it. Thank you

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.

We are a small computer sales and repairs shop, which uses Payam to recover data from our customers hard drives when our tools and systems cannot. Their service is professional, and the thing I really like is that they kept me informed at all stages of the recovery. Best in class service.”

Paolo & his team did a wonderful job on recovering our data. We had taken our computer to another place & all they told us after they took out our hard drive was "it's broken & we've put in a new one & this is how much you owe us". We thought that's it we've lost everything, but lucky for us the computer place gave us PAYAM's phone number & that's the best advice they gave us. We met Paolo & he was fantastic, he explained everything to us in simple terms & kept us informed every step of the way & the price was good, considering what we got back. We would definitely recommend Paolo & his team at PAYAM, as they have provided us with excellent customer service and did what we asked. Mary

I was extremely happy with the work you did for me. Your prompt service and communications about what you were doing were excellent. You saved all my photos,Thank you.

Discovered my USB had a unrecoverable error preventing me from accessing my substantial client files. Most IT people I spoke to said I'd be unable to recover anything. I took the device to Payam and they were able to recover every file. Craig and the team are AWESOME and I've shared my experience with many to date. Great to find a tech service that delivers on what they promise. I will continue to share my great Payam experience. Thanks Craig.

Thank you for your excellent work, after 3 attempts of trying to recover my photos from my iPhone which I had dropped in the toilet and just stopped working, Payam were able to recover everything from my very dead iPhone!!! Excellent customer service!!! Thank you so much!!!!

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!!

All my personal & work files (6 years worth) were all on my external hard drive, that is until my partner accidentally dropped it. When I went to use it I was not able to read, copy, delete or add files, plus the hard drive was making strange noises which I knew was not good news. I did some research on data recovery companies and called five in Melbourne, PAYAM had the best price and was conveniently located it was also a company whose brand I recognised. Craig was not only able to save 98% of my data but he also kindly spent time explaining everything I needed to know about external hard drives, backup drives etc. – our chat at his office lasted an hour and gave me plenty of useful information to ensure I did not lose my data again. I now have two external hard drives, one which I use regularly and one purely as my backup. Thank you Craig for your exceptional customer service and for saving all my data. Cheers
Neil Robertson
Very happy with the service and end result.

I have used Payam in the past and again more recently and it has been a very pleasant experience on all occasions.
They are great at what they do and provide efficient and friendly service.
I would definitely use them again if the need arises and highly recommend them to anyone interested in their services, you will not be disappointed.
Diyana Henkel
I was really happy with the results! I got all of my missing files back in one piece, which is the main thing.
Harry Brayshaw
Thank you for your work in recovering the data on the damaged hard drive. We were pleased with the results and will recommend your service to others.
Joseph Vitelli
Merlin the magician would be impressed Payam’s feat of data recovery. After being told by our IT staff to trash the hard disk as recovery would not be possible, Payam excepted the challenge and delivered 100% of my data back to usable. I went from feeling that my world had ended to jubilation when I strolled through all me files- thank you so much!
Sandra Chung
I had a Seagate drive that was a replacement for a different Seagate drive that failed under warranty, also fail after less than a year. I immediately unplugged it, and did some websearching and found PAYAM Data Recovery. I gave them a call, brought my drive down. Turned out the heads had crashed, and it was sent to "The Clean Room" . As the data on it wasn't desperately needed, but I did want it recovered, I took the slow option. Upon examination, it was the heads, but the platters were undamaged. PAYAM reconstructed the drive and was able to recover ALL the data and put it on a brand new drive.
When I had a bit of confusion about payment/return method, it was explained, I paid and the drive was back to me 4 days after
I have a few static glitches on very few of the media files, but they work. Now, I know not all data recovery jobs have this great of an outcome, but considering what the cost of the loss of data would have been, in time and money to rebuild, it was well worth the cost.
As for "slow" method, my drive was fixed in under a month and returned. Definitely recommend PAYAM.

After a new Samsung 850 Pro SSD got corrupted while I was downloading files to my Mac, Craig and Vinh in Melbourne came to the rescue and recovered 340GB worth of files that I thought I'd lost forever. It was an absolute life saver as these were critical files needed for a video job I'd just completed for an important client and the thought of a reshoot was not something I really wanted to contemplate. The knowledge and customer service was exceptional. I'd recommend Payam in a heartbeat
Maria Vatos
A HUGE thank you to Paolo for recovering my severely water damaged iPhone! Also the to team at Payam for their professionalism, kindness and awesome service......so refreshing! After being told by two other technicians that there was no hope......Payam found a way!!! Paolo you must be acknowledged 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!!! I highly recommend Payam Data Recovery Specialists! Amazing!!!
Thank you so much!

My RAID-5 Server crashed, 2 drives had were clicking. I sent this to 3 other data recovery companies (1 in North Sydney, 1 in Melbourne and the last was a global firm in QLD). None of them could recover the data, after 3 months i had lost all hope. I was heard an Ad for Payam Data Recovery on Radio. Their ad said 'nothing is impossible!'. After 2 days, they recovered all of my data. I could not believe it. It cost me only $800 (the other companies quoted $2,500-$7,000 which i actually did approved all 3 quotes as i was desperate but none of them could fix the problem! I got all my MYOB accounting files, outlook pst email files and family photos back. Next time i'll go to Payam 1st! Cheaper and better than the other companies that were just full of crap! Very friendly service, good customer service is hard to find - and their service was flawless! I am very happy, they were better, faster and cheaper than other companies. Well done. I'll be your walking 'word of mouth' billboard for the rest of my life. Thank you for saving my business!

I'd recently crashed my MacBook Pro and thought i had lost all data in my computer. I brought it over to Apple Store and Mac Centric, both of whom could not help me and suggested that I may not be able to retrieve my data anymore. The latter of whom however, suggested that I would need to go to a an experienced data recovery team and try my luck there. I then recalled my sister (having lost all her photos from an overseas SD card that she bought during her Europe trip) bringing her SD card to PAYAM, after many trial and errors through different data recovery team companies in Sydney. They eventually were the only ones able to retrieve her precious photos again. So i decided to take my computer to PAYAM, and within a day I received a more than reasonable quote which i was not obliged to pay a cent of unless i was 100 percent happy with their work. Not only are they an expert at data retrieval, but their customer service is excellent, which is certainly helpful when you are already distressed. PAYAM are an informative, efficient & reliable company, and i recommend them to anyone who needs their computer back on track again. Thank you so much for your help and fantastic customer care.
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.
Robert Ceic
Very happy with service. In this information age, knowing that such a service is available is quite comforting
Cayleigh Abel
I absolutely loved dealing with everyone at Payam the process was super-efficient and professional and all my data was recovered! My computer was drenched in water and I thought I would have had to pay a fortune to retrieve everything but i was given a reasonable price and quick recovery time. Thank you so much again, really saved me!!
Chris Finch
I am eternally grateful that Payam were able to restore almost all that was lost but especially all my family photos from years back, that was priceless.
Rod Smith
I was happy to have my files retrieved. From the outset it was made clear that no guarantee of a successful outcome could be provided. I realised that I may have been wasting money committing to the attempt. Subsequently the data that was able to be retrieved was more than compensation for that which couldn’t. During the process I was kept adequately informed.
Wayne Harrison
Very happy and please with the result….you guys save day skin as we had heaps of photos and important documents that we could not afford to lose……a job very well done and despite the no need for urgency, it was still completed in a very short time…..
Mitch Graham
The staff was friendly and very professional. The most amazing part is they delivered as promised.
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.
Krecs
Excellent personal customer service. Fixed my 1Tb hard drive quickly, and explained the whole process. If I ever have recovery issues again this will be the guys that I would deal with.
Philip Sagerine
Losing our overseas holiday photos was devastating. Finding Payam data Recovery in Brisbane, who recovered every photo, was an absolute "God send". A million grateful thanks Guys. well Done!
Keith Adams
Great staff and very helpful. They have recovered data for me a number of times.

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 🙂
James Cowan
After being quoted by a competitor almost double the price I decided to give these guys a go. Not only was I blown away by the helpful advice shown by the staff I was also relieved to hear that it was going to cost a fraction of the price original stated. These guys are the real deal! Unfortunately in this type of business there are many sharks that are eager to take advantage of people in a compromising position. I implore people to please shop around before rushing into anything and these guys for myself were by far the most helpful and best value for money. I highly recommend these people to anyone who has found themselves in the terribly difficult situation of losing valuable data.
Kathy A
Inserting my USB into my computer it told me my files could not be recovered as my disk needed to be reformatted. Knowing that the USB contained valuable files I googled where I may go and decided to contact Payam to see if they could recover the files. It was the week before Christmas but I was provided with a quote the same day for the cost of the recovery. My files were returned at the time estimated for the recovery and there was a follow-up a few weeks later to see I was happy with the files recovered. While unfortunately not all of my files could be recovered (which is no fault of Payam) I was grateful for those that they managed to recover. I appreciated the professional service provided by Wes keeping me up-to-date on progress. I would have no problems recommending their service to others
Russell Lunney
Completely happy 🙂
Devyani Rangnekar
I was highly impressed with the prompt and efficient service provided by PAYAM. I received updates from the consultant I dealt with exactly when I was told I would. My USB flash drive stopped working and I was at risk of either losing a great deal of personal and work data, or paying exorbitant sums of money in order to recover it. In comparison to a lot of other quotes that I got PAYAM was reasonable and I got all my data back. I highly recommend their services.
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!
Stephen Pittman
Given the nature of my requirements – family photos/personal files that weren’t time sensitive, but absolutely precious – I am very happy with the result, which was a 99.8% recovery – AWESOME!
Scott E
I was told that the likelihood of even recovering my external hard drive was 20-30% from another person.......... but when I took it to Payam they told me they would try their best - and boy did they deliver - They recovered 91% of my lost data - and this was amazing considering I thought I would not have a hope in actually recovering it at all - The team at Payam were beyond Fantastic and I can't thank them enough = I will definitely be using them again if I am ever in a situation like I was.
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!
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.
Ettore Siracusa
Very satisfied. Friendly and reliable service and relatively inexpensive; two other quotes were more than double what I paid for at Payam. Happy to recommend.
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!

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!
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.
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!!
