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.

PAYAM has again recovered my files and work history within the time frame that i needed them back. I would recommend this service to anyone who thinks that their files are lost forever. Payam’s knowledge and professional service make a distressing occurrence a walk in the park. Cheers Payam.

I will shout it from the roof tops as to how happy I was with my experience with you. I had lost data from two USB’s which had graduation photos, overseas trips and my father in law who has since passed away.

I had been to three other companies who did not want to know me but fortunately one put me onto you. Your staff was very professional friendly and extremely helpful. The great news is that all photos and videos were retrieved to my absolute delight. Thank you ever so much. I have already sung your praises to my friends.

Upon discovering Payam online, and experiencing issues with the manufacturer of the external hard drive, I was reluctant that the data on my device would ever be recovered.

Payam took the time to explain step by step the process, and showed visibility the whole way through.

A special thank you to Lachlan and Keith for all their help and assistance.

I have no trouble in recommending Payam to anyone that has a faulty device and is in need of recovering the valuable data.

Excellent and prompt service. Not only were they great with my data and recovered all of it – they have great customer service and were always friendly and knowledgeable. From the very beginning I felt like I was in the right hands, and that they were dealing with me in an honest and professional manner.

You only pay if they can recover your data, that was a big selling point for me. The process from start to finish was an efficient one and they managed to retrieve 100% of my data. Great website also. I will definitely use them again in the future.

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!!

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.
