Just to let you know that my daughter was very happy with the data retrieval from her broken USB thumb drive. She said that at least 98% of the files were OK. There were a small number that were corrupted, most likely the ones that were open at the time that the computer and USB fell on the floor.

She has now made several back-ups! and said to thank you very much. She is very grateful.

Inserting my USB into my computer it told me my files could not be recovered as my disk needed to be reformatted. Knowing that the USB contained valuable files I googled where I may go and decided to contact Payam to see if they could recover the files. It was the week before Christmas but I was provided with a quote the same day for the cost of the recovery. My files were returned at the time estimated for the recovery and there was a follow-up a few weeks later to see I was happy with the files recovered. While unfortunately not all of my files could be recovered (which is no fault of Payam) I was grateful for those that they managed to recover. I appreciated the professional service provided by Wes keeping me up-to-date on progress. I would have no problems recommending their service to others

I was in tears when my USB flash drive snapped in half. Another data recovery company had it for 3 days and said it could not be recovered. Payam Data Recovery told me they recovered it using a chip off method that not many other places could do in the world. I believed them as i got all of my data back about 5 days later. I hope i never need data recovery again but i would definitely recommend Payam data recovery.

I will never be able to thank PAYAM enough for the great job they did in recovering some very precious photos I had accidently deleted. They were very professional, quick and pleasant and kind enough to help me download their disc to my computer when I returned home. These Magic Men are also my heros – I just didn’t believe a recovery could be done. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, boys.

Great service. Recovered all my files. The process was clear and informative. Was not quite willing with the price that was initially quoted but with the discounts that were available (really helps for a student) and the outcome, money well spent.

Coming back home from an overseas conference trip, the last thing I needed was to be greeted by a non-starting desktop. I was desperate to recover my data, especially my ‘just-completed’ tax return information! PAYAM was recommended by my local IT repair shop as well as by the work IT personnel. It was worth every penny! Service was excellent – fast (within a week), professional and complete (all data was recovered). I highly recommend PAYAM to anyone whose data may have been deemed ‘unrecoverable’ by other IT service providers.

I couldn’t be happier with the service I got from Payam. I saw 4 different companies before them who told me they would not be able to retrieve my lost photos. I was very distraught as I had just been on my first overseas holiday. Payam were able to get every single photo back. I would recommend them to everyone!

USB flash drive crushing, Payam data recovery to the rescue. Good job guys!

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 USB through your computer and have NOT written any data to the USB since the format, the chances of getting data back are good. If you write data to the USB after the format, that is when the previous data will start to be overwritten which significantly lowers your success chances.

Repairing the broken USB connector is part of our recovery process. Once the connector has been repaired, we would extract the data to a new external hard drive either provided by you or bought from us. If the connector is too damaged to repair, we would provide you a quote for a chip off recovery.

A chip off recovery is where we remove the memory chip that stores your data and either transplant the chip to another USB flash drive, or read the memory chip through custom made adapters and software. This is an extremely delicate process that needs to be executed perfectly so the chip is not damaged in the process. We perform chip-off recoveries every day for various devices so rest assured that we know exactly how to approach and execute these types of cases.
