Meet Payam Toloo: Founder and 27-Year Expert at Payam Data Recovery Australia

Video Transcript: Payam Toloo’s Story in His Own Words [3s] My name is Payam. That’s my first name, which is the business is named after. [5s] I’m proud of my name, Payam. It’s unique [7s] in the data recovery industry. I started [9s] my business when I was 18 years old. My [11s] own computer hard drive died. I never [12s] knew that hard drives could die. I [14s] didn’t have a backup, and I was really [16s] upset and stressed. I couldn’t afford [18s] data recovery at the time. So, I started [20s] investigating how to fix it myself. Um, [23s] it took me over 2 years fixing about 300 [24s] dead hard drives I bought from a [26s] computer repair shop. Once I was [28s] confident I could fix my own hard drive, [29s] I got my own hard drive working. It was [31s] so satisfying that decided to turn into [32s] a business to help other people and [35s] decided to specialize in only data [36s] recovery and we just became the best [40s] there is just by doing that all [40s] day. Um I’m confident to say that we can [44s] fix anything that you can bring to us. [46s] So any brand or any type of hard drive [48s] if you brought us something uh we know [50s] exactly what to do with it. We know how [52s] to diagnose it. We know how to fix it. [53s] We’ve got all the tools, equipment, [55s] parts and expertise in our company to be [58s] able to help with any problem. Uh we’ve [1m] been doing this for 27 years and I’m [1m 1s] pretty confident to say there’s not much [1m 4s] that we can’t [1m 4s] fix. Uh the first thing to do is uh [1m 8s] basically decide if you’re going to [1m 10s] bring it to us or post it to us. So we [1m 12s] have an office in the city in five major [1m 13s] cities. You can either physically walk [1m 15s] in and leave it with us for a day. We’ll [1m 16s] test it. We’ll tell you what’s wrong [1m 18s] with it. We’ll give you a price. [1m 20s] Something simple. It’s like $375. It [1m 21s] only takes an hour or two of our time. [1m 22s] If it’s, you know, going to take us [1m 24s] several weeks and, you know, 20 or 30 [1m 26s] hours of time and lots of specialized [1m 28s] tools, it can cost up to about $2,000. [1m 30s] So, the price can vary. And if it’s [1m 31s] worth the money for you, then there’s a [1m 33s] good chance we can get everything back. [1m 34s] If the price is too high, you don’t have [1m 36s] to go ahead. Um, the other option is you [1m 38s] can fill out a form on our website. On [1m 39s] the top right hand corner, there’s a big [1m 41s] green button to start your recovery. [1m 42s] Fill that out, bring it to us. You can [1m 44s] just drop it off at our reception and [1m 45s] leave if you’re in a hurry and you don’t [1m 49s] have to hang around. [1m 49s] Uh the difference is that you can [1m 52s] actually call and speak with a data [1m 54s] recovery technician…

The Genesis of Payam Data Recovery: A Personal Journey

Payam Data Recovery started from a personal challenge. When Payam Toloo was 18, his computer hard drive failed. He didn’t have a backup and couldn’t afford professional data recovery. This led him to investigate how to fix it himself. He spent over two years working on about 300 broken hard drives he bought from a computer repair shop. Once he successfully recovered his own data, he realised he could help others facing similar issues. This personal experience was the start of Payam Data Recovery, a business dedicated to specialising in data recovery. As Payam notes, “It was so satisfying that [I] decided to turn into a business to help other people.”
