Frequently Asked Questions

Does Toshiba offer data recovery?

No. Toshiba does not provide data recovery services. If your drive fails under warranty, they may replace the hard drive but will not retrieve your data. In fact, Toshiba often refers customers to professional companies like Payam Data Recovery to get their files back before issuing a replacement.

Why should I use your company instead of another one closer to my home?

Payam Data Recovery is the most experienced and trusted data recovery company in Australia. Choosing an inexperienced provider could cause further damage to your hard drive, potentially making the problem worse. Your important data deserves expert care and the highest chance of recovery, which is why clients across Australia turn to Payam for our expertise.

How much will it cost?

The price depends on the problem and complexity of the failure. We always provide a free check-up to diagnose the issue first. In most non-urgent cases, data recovery costs usually range from $375 to $2,000 AUD. You will receive a firm quote after we evaluate your drive, so you’ll know the exact price before we begin.
