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 had my USB break on me in the most random of ways and it basically had my professional life saved on it! So after desperately calling a few computer places I found Payam and Craig in the Melbourne office was fantastic. He kept me up to date with the process and he managed to recover almost everything! Was fabulous! I couldn’t ask for a better result. Some of you may be put off by the pricing, but honestly once you get back all of your data, you won’t even think about it!! Highly recommend Payam!!

The guys at Payam know their stuff. They were able to recover crucial data from a damaged usb drive in less than 4 hours

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 devastated when my local computer shop told me they could not recover the contents of my USB. It had picked up a virus the one and only time I had used it while travelling overseas and I was told I had lost all of the precious holiday photos that were on there.

A friend recommended I try and take the USB to someone who specialises in data recovery and that is the best advice I have ever taken! Paolo rang me within 24 hours of receiving my USB to tell me the good news. I could not believe he had saved them all, and for such a good price!

The professionalism and quality of service they provide is fantastic. I would recommend them as the first point of call to anyone who is serious about recovering their data.

We had a USB that died most unmercifully upon us. I contacted Craig at the Melbourne office who helped us get everything back. Thanks Craig for the good, honest service. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend Payam Data Recovery.

Craig was professional and extremely helpful, all of my data was recovered and I was kept informed throughout the whole process.

Don’t think twice if you have a dead drive with lost information, Craig and his team will have it restored with little fuss and at a reasonable price.

Excellent service from Wes, customer was very happy with the recovered data and we got back a lot more than we were expecting to – most of which was 100% – except random images missing data due to the initial disk failure.

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.
