I was given a 2 GB Olympus memory card purchased new on eBay. Half way through a 4 week trip to the UK, the card stopped working. When we returned home, our computer couldnt read it, so we took it to Olympus to be told it was a counterfeit card. They would have nothing to do with it. We then took it to a forensic computer specialist, who also could do nothing with the card. We came across PAYAM Data Recovery Pty Ltd when doing an internet search. I took the card to the North Sydney Office and was told I would know fairly soon if the photos were recoverable. The card was sent to the Melbourne office and Mark began working on it. He kept me informed about the progress recovering the data. It took longer than originally expected, because not only was the card a forgery, it was only 1GB, not 2 which made a difference in the recovery process. I was very impressed with Marks determination to get the photos and the fact that he would not give up. The time it took was immaterial as I just wanted my photos. I was also impressed that I would be charged a flat fee for the recovery. I would not hesitate to recommend PAYAM Data Recovery Pty Ltd to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. Kim Ker

I was quoted almost $2k, told parts needed replacing and it would take 4 weeks. Luckily I found Payam! They were a quarter of the price, nothing needed replacing and they were time efficient. These guys saved our business. I would definitely recommend!

Professional+++, good at what they do, fast efficient, delivery. Lost 10 years of family photos, everyone else said the data was unrecoverable. Highly recommended.

Kane from Payam Brisbane was great and easy to deal with. They definitely know what they are doing and have all the advanced tools and fancy software which can talk to the drive’s firmware directly to recover nearly any faulty drive. In our case our sata hard drive would turn off during data recovery with r-studio and reply with CRC errors. They managed to recover all the data on it and clone it 1:1 to a new drive that was bootable.

Great job, reasonable pricing. And the person you talk to is actually the person who does the recovery so you don’t talk to a clueless front desk person. They are definitely one of the best in their field and this is coming from an IT specialist with 20 years experience.

I was extremely happy that you were able to recover my lost data (photos). I think they are pretty much 100% all there. I never expected to see the photos again after I had let an incompetent company have first go. I wish I had found your company sooner. If I ever have another lost data situation, I know where to come and will certainly recommend your company to any friends in need. Thank you very much

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.

Frequently asked questions

In all data recovery cases, success is not guaranteed. When we provide you your obligation free quote we will give you an idea of your success chances based on past recoveries that are similar to yours. Rest assured that when you use Payam Data Recovery, you have the highest chance of success!
 
If you have performed a quick format on the memory card through your computer and have NOT written any data to the card since the format, the chances of getting data back are good. If you write data to the card after the format, that is when the previous data will start to be overwritten which significantly lowers your success chances.
We have had many cases where we have successfully recovered data from memory cards that were formatted through a camera/phone. The success of this type of recovery is very case by case. We have learnt that some cameras and phones perform a secure erase on the card when the formatting occurs. If a secure format has occurred, recovery is normally not possible. We do our best to identify if recovery of the card is worth attempting during the free assessment period.
The general rule with deleted data is that the deleted data is still on the card until new files have been written to the card. Writing new files to the card overwrites the previous data. There is still a chance that we may be able to recover some previous data for you, but the success of this type of case comes down to how many new files have been written to the card.
