When your Seagate hard drive fails without warning, you need a reliable solution to get your files back quickly. Payam Data Recovery provides expert Seagate hard drive data recovery services across Australia, helping you rescue important documents, photos, and data from failed Seagate external and internal drives. No matter the data loss scenario – from a clicking drive to a disk not detected by your computer – our team can help recover your files. With free assessments, cutting-edge technology, and decades of experience, we offer the highest chance of retrieving your data safely and fast.
Benefits of Data Recovery with Payam
Experience and Success: Established in 1998, we have over 27 years of experience and have successfully recovered data from more than 50,000 devices. Our engineers have seen every type of failure and serve everyone from individuals and small businesses to government agencies and top companies. We’re proud to be Australia’s most trusted data recovery specialists.
Advanced Cleanroom Labs: All hard drives with physical damage are handled in our ISO-14644-1 Class 5 (Class-100) cleanroom facilities. This dust-free environment is essential for delicate operations like head replacements and platter repairs, maximising the chances of a full recovery.
State-of-the-Art Tools: We use specialised data recovery hardware and software that typical computer shops don’t have. Our labs are equipped with PC-3000, DeepSpar Disk Imager, Atola Insight, MRT and other advanced tools to tackle complex Seagate hard drive issues at the firmware and electronics level. These tools allow us to clone failing drives, repair firmware bugs, and bypass bad sectors to extract your files.
Transparent Service & No Obligation: Payam offers a completely free evaluation and quote for your Seagate drive. We provide honest, transparent pricing with no hidden costs. If you choose not to proceed with the recovery after receiving our quote, that’s okay – there is no obligation and no charge. We even offer to return your hard drive at no cost if you decline the service.
Fast and Flexible Options: We understand time is critical when dealing with data loss. Our services include Economy, Priority, and Emergency options to fit your urgency and budget. For the most urgent cases, we have an expedited assessment (from $150) that can provide a diagnosis and quote within 1–2 hours. We also keep thousands of spare donor parts (heads, PCBs, etc.) on hand to avoid delays in sourcing parts, speeding up the recovery process.
Common Seagate Drive Issues and Our Recovery Process
Seagate drives can fail due to various reasons, and we’ve seen them all. Common Seagate hard drive issues we specialise in include:
- Drive not detected or not recognised by Windows or Mac computers
- Mechanical issues like clicking, ticking or grinding noises (often caused by head crashes or platter damage from drops)
- File system or partition corruption leading to missing folders or “RAW” drives
- Bad sectors and read errors causing slow performance or crashes
- Firmware faults (e.g. drive reporting 0MB capacity or BSY state due to bugs like the infamous Seagate 0LBA issue)
- Electronic failures such as burnt PCB from power surges or faulty USB bridge boards
- Physical damage from accidents – drops, shocks, floods, or fire
Our Seagate data recovery process is designed to handle all the above failures safely and effectively:
Free Assessment & Quote
First, we start with a free data recovery quote and assessment. You can bring your faulty Seagate drive to any of our labs or post it to us. Our engineers will thoroughly diagnose the drive within 1–2 business days (or within hours for urgent cases) and provide you with a written quote and a timeline. We’ll explain the problem, the chances of success, and outline options – whether a standard service or an emergency priority job if you need the data back ASAP. If you proceed with the quote, we’ll get started right away; if not, we’ll return your device with no questions asked and no fees.
Advanced Recovery Methods
Once approved, our data recovery specialists use the best techniques to retrieve your files. For drives with logical issues (corrupted partitions or deleted files), we perform Seagate file recovery with specialised software to rebuild file structures and copy out your data. For drives with hardware problems, we may replace damaged components using our vast inventory of donor parts. For example, we can swap out a burned circuit board or perform a delicate head transplant in our cleanroom if the read/write heads have crashed. Throughout the process, we use hardware imagers (PC-3000, DeepSpar, etc.) to create a sector-by-sector clone of your Seagate hard disk, working around bad sectors and unstable heads to extract every readable bit. We also have firmware repair expertise for resolving Seagate-specific firmware faults and translator issues. Before we return your data, we verify the file integrity – you’ll often get a report or file list showing what can be recovered, so you know you’re getting back what you need.
