I was very impressed with the service you offered - and in particular your communication throughout the process. You did a great job and recovered all the data from a few drives of valuable information at a price that pales in comparison to the value of the data recovered.

My experience with Payam Data Recovery was Fantastic!!!! I dropped my iphone a few weeks ago and all data was gone. Brought iphone to Payam and got a call after a few hours saying it's ready to be picked up. I was very happy!

I had my laptop stolen and recovered by Police. When I opened it everything has been wiped out. I had a very important manuscript that I hadn't saved anywhere together with photos of my girls. Someone recommended Payam and told me they were the best. The moment I met Samantha and how she explained in simple words what had happened I knew I was in the right hands. Payam did an amazing job and I was in tears when I found out that they could recover what i was looking for. And above all is the professionalism and human touch of Samantha. I highly recommend it. Thanks PAYAM

The North Sydney branch retrieved some valuable data that was extremely important from a CF card. It was a hardware/circuit issue so I Got told 3 quotes and depending on the problem it would be anywhere between $220 - $700+
I was ready for worst case scenario and wouldn't have know any better so they could have said $700+ and u would have paid no questions but they were honest and told me it was a minor hardware issue and charged the minimum $220.
In addition from ongoing correspondence via phone and email, what really impressed me was their honestly and genuinely wanting to help.
Would definitely go back (fingers crossed I won't need to) but it's got to know there are pro's out there who can help in a what seems like a useless situation.

Great service retrieved photos from birth of our twins, saved my life.

Brilliant service founded on real expertise in the field - this is rare in this day and age. Here's to Wes and Payam!

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!
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.

I am very pleased with the service and completed so quickly.I have already mentioned your service to friends.

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!
Mulham
My experience was nothing less that perfect. Great Service, seamless process and great outcome.
The guys were able to recover 200GB worth of critical Data from a MacBook Air device.
All in all a positive experience.
Thanks a lot

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.

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!
Elias Hantzis
I was extremely happy with the services provided by Payam data recovery. Expectation were set perfectly and data was recovered and received promptly.
Dave Owens
We were very happy with the work done to retrieve the data. There was four years of company work that we desperately needed retrieved and it was done without any fuss
Vangie Taylor
They are very honest and responsive, and the cost was very fair. I'm glad that I took my very important hard drive to them.
I had ten years worth of family photos, videos, music and general documents on my computer when I recently upgraded. I had done the right thing and backed all of my files onto an external HDD and then formatted the old drive and gave it a new life as a gaming machine for the kids. Unfortunately, I plugged the wrong power supply into the external HDD as I went to transfer all the files onto my new PC. I knew straight away there was something wrong, as the LED didn't come on and there was that horrible smell of burning circuits. I had also bought a NAS with the new computer, so I pulled the external HDD apart and hoped to install the drive into the NAS and recover the data myself......of course that didn't work. I rang every company on the Gold Coast and Brisbane that advertised data recovery (there were alot!) but most of them didn't recover from damaged drives, while those that did wanted to charge me thousands. From there I expanded my search and found Payam in Sydney. To be honest I was wary at first because they were significantly cheaper than most others, but in the end I need not have worried. Not only did they fix the drive for the agreed price, but they called me back with progress reports....twice....without me hassling! In the end I was thoroughly impressed with their service and their prices. I would recommend them any day, and while I don't ever want to use their services again, I would use them above all others.

Great service...would have been up S$%t creek without a paddle without Payam...
Amy Hobson
We had a USB that died most unmercifully upon us. I contacted Craig at the Melbourne office who helped us get everything back. Thanks Craig for the good, honest service. Highly recommended!
Leon Silver
I was very happy with your work. You were fast, efficient and good value. I will certainly use you next time.
Colin Higginson
Very pleased with your service. Got us out of a potential huge mess.
Matthew Cooley
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!
Sam Heylen
One happy customer! My wife's iPhone suddenly crashed and having not been backed up in over a year we thought we had lost all of her photos, videos etc including baby photos of our 3rd child. Apple said there was nothing we could do except try a data recovery place. Payam were fantastic from whoa to go. They recovered all the data and even provided an iTunes backup of the phone. Couldn't recommend them more highly. Thanks guys
Geofdecan
Great service and end result using wes at Payam. Will recommend and use again if needed!
Erin
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.
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!!
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.
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!
Sean Humphrey
Amazing company, recovered all my data. Thank you.

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!

After approaching two data recovery companies and being told in each case, after initial investigation payments were made, that the data was unrecoverable, hope was almost lost as well as the data. Payam Forensic Data Recovery was then mentioned to try. The service from start to finish was exemplary. Most of the data was recovered on essentially an unrecoverable data drive. This was remarkable as the drive has been opened and tampered with from two different companies previously in their attempts of recovery. Without hesitation I would recommend Payam for data recovery, as from my experience they are the company that got the job done, it’s as simple as that.

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.
Matt Smith
Great service and exceeded expectations but returning my data 100% intact. Expensive but worth it for years of priceless photos and study records.
Leon L.
Excellent and accurate recovery. Very prompt service. 880Gb of data fully recovered from my crashed HDD.
Russell Lunney
Completely happy 🙂
Ned Farhat
Outstanding work time and again, no matter how complex the situation. Always keen to work with me on urgent requirements and deliver a quality outcome. Would never recommend anyone else.

With so much to do one recent night, I spoilt things by plugging laptop into external hard drive powerpack, and vice versa. The laptop survived, but I lost a lifetime of records on the 640 Gb drive. The local IT guys in Vanuatu weren't able to help recover any, however my IT friend Terry Carlot recommended sending it to Payam in Brisbane. I contacted them, and from then on, with Payam Greg Gill's help, it seemed life was worth living again. The data recovery work was done quickly and contact kept up. I appreciated Greg's manner, the efficiency of data recovery as well as the chance to buy economically a new larger drive to store that data, and the returning the drive to me by the alternative means I requested. Thanks for the good work, Payam.
Audrey Dyer
Thought all the photos from my iphone were gone but after having the phone for only a day, Payam had recovered all the data and sent my iphone back. Could not be happier
Phil Elliott
Quick, efficient kept me well informed at every stage. Great service.
Conrad Smith
Payam Data Recovery provides a great service when important data has been lost. I've used them a number of times while repairing PCs and servers for people. On each occasion Payam have recovered the data of damaged hard drives. If needed, they have worked through the night and returned data quickly. While it is not a service that you 'want' to use, if you 'need' data recovery, then Payam will 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.
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.
Kirsty Walker
Understanding, efficient and quick service. Mark very knowledgable and was able to assist me by retrieving my 'lost' information from a time capsule with patience and ability. Thank you.
Amylee Goodman
Couldn't recommend highly enough amazing results always informing you on the process and just amazing with customer service
Ceasar Joseph
The best customer service I have had for years. Caring, helpful and they went the extra mile to reassure me when I was freaking out after my server crashed. RAID-5 data recovery was done faster than expected. Happy to refer you to my friends.
Lucy Moxon
Your service was great and I am very pleased with the amount of data recovered.

We use Payam to recover data for our clients. They have never failed to deliver results.

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.
